To solve the equation $a + 16 = 3a - 3 + a$, first combine like terms on each side. This gives us $a + 16 = 4a - 3$. Subtracting $a$ from both sides and adding $3$ to both sides gives $19 = 3a$, which simplifies to $a = \frac{19}{3}$.

Solve the Equation a+16=3a−3+aa + 16 = 3 a - 3 + aa+16=3a−3+a

Solve the Equation $a + 16 = 3 a - 3 + a$
