To find the solution of the equation 6a-12=18, we can create a table of values where we substitute different values for 'a' and solve for the corresponding value of the equation.

Let's start by choosing some values for 'a' and solving the equation:

a | 6a - 12 = 18
-----------
0 | 6(0) - 12 = -12 ≠ 18
1 | 6(1) - 12 = -6 ≠ 18
2 | 6(2) - 12 = 6 ≠ 18
3 | 6(3) - 12 = 18 (SOLUTION)
4 | 6(4) - 12 = 30 ≠ 18

We can see that when 'a' is 3, the equation is satisfied and the result is 18.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is a = 3.
