    Start by putting all the like terms together, then put "a" on one side and numbers on the other.
    Lastly simply divide.

    So what do YOU get ?

    Start by combining all the like terms together. That means combine the terms which contain "a" together, and then combine the terms that don't contain "a" together.

    What does that get you?
