To solve the equation \( 30 = 26 - 6a \), we need to isolate \( a \). 1. Start by subtracting 26 from both sides: \[ 30 - 26 = -6a \] \[ 4 = -6a \] 2. Next, divide both sides by -6 to solve for \( a \): \[ a = \frac{4}{-6} \] \[ a = -\frac{2}{3} \] So, the solution is: \[ a = -\frac{2}{3} \]

To solve the equation \( 30 = 26 - 6a \), we need to isolate \( a \).

Start by subtracting 26 from both sides: \[ 30 - 26 = -6a \] \[ 4 = -6a \]
Next, divide both sides by -6 to solve for \( a \): \[ a = \frac{4}{-6} \] \[ a = -\frac{2}{3} \]

So, the solution is: \[ a = -\frac{2}{3} \]
