9a=6a+24
The next step is to combine like terms and get the knowns on one side and the unknowns on the other.
Subtract 6a from both sides of the equation.
9a - 6a = 6a - 6a + 24
3a = 24
Divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a.
3a/3 = 24/3
a = 8
So I have to solve this problem
9a=6(a+4)
And then I wrote down:
9a=6a+24
but I don't know what to do from there, can someone explain to me please?

Okay, when I checked my answer, how come I got 72? when I put 8 As A into the equation.
That's what the original problem states: 72 = 72
9a=6(a+4)
9(8) = 6(8 + 4)
72 = 72
9a=6(a+4)
9(8) = 6(8 + 4)
72 = 72
So I could have two answers... ? 8 and 72?
No.
You only need to find what a represents. As we found, in this problem a = 8.
You proved it by substituting 8 for a in the original problem.
