#39/7#

QUESTION : #-3[2a+3(5-2a)]=a-[6-4a]#

So

#-3[2a+15-6a]=a-[6-4a]#

Expanding inside the bracket on LHS,

#-3[15-4a] =a-[6-4a]#

Expanding inside the bracket on LHS,

#-45+12a =a-6+4a#

Simplifying on RHS

#-45+12a =5a-6#

#-45+6 =5a-12a#

Seperating numbers and variables,

#-39 =-7a#

# a=(-39)/-7 #

# a=39/7#
