To solve the equation \(-50 = 6a + 28\), follow these steps:
1. **Isolate the term with \(a\)**:
Subtract 28 from both sides of the equation:
\[
-50 - 28 = 6a
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-78 = 6a
\]
2. **Solve for \(a\)**:
Divide both sides by 6:
\[
a = \frac{-78}{6}
\]
Simplifying the right side gives:
\[
a = -13
\]
Therefore, the solution is:
\[
a = -13
\]
