To find the measure of angle \( a \) in the triangle, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \). Given the angles:

- Angle \( a = 4X - 6 \)
- Angle \( B = 3X - 2 \)
- Angle \( C = 3X - 2 \)

We can set up the equation:

\[
(4X - 6) + (3X - 2) + (3X - 2) = 180
\]

Now let's simplify:

\[
4X - 6 + 3X - 2 + 3X - 2 = 180
\]

Combine like terms:

\[
(4X + 3X + 3X) + (-6 - 2 - 2) = 180
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
10X - 10 = 180
\]

Now, solve for \( X \):

\[
10X = 180 + 10
\]
\[
10X = 190
\]
\[
X = 19
\]

Now that we have \( X \), we can find the measure of angle \( a \):

\[
a = 4X - 6
\]
\[
a = 4(19) - 6
\]
\[
a = 76 - 6
\]
\[
a = 70
\]

So the measure of angle \( a \) is \( 70^\circ \).

Therefore, the answer is:

**70°**
