First, distribute the numbers outside the parentheses: $27a - 18 - 20a - 12 = 26$. Combine like terms: $7a - 30 = 26$. Add 30 to both sides: $7a = 56$. Divide by 7: $a = 8$.

Solve the Equation 9(3a−2)−4(5a+3)=269 ( 3 a - 2 ) - 4 ( 5 a + 3 ) = 269(3a−2)−4(5a+3)=26

Solve the Equation $9 ( 3 a - 2 ) - 4 ( 5 a + 3 ) = 26$
