Simplifying

4a + -6 = 26 + -12a

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 4a = 26 + -12a

Solving

-6 + 4a = 26 + -12a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '12a' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 4a + 12a = 26 + -12a + 12a

Combine like terms: 4a + 12a = 16a

-6 + 16a = 26 + -12a + 12a

Combine like terms: -12a + 12a = 0

-6 + 16a = 26 + 0

-6 + 16a = 26

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 16a = 26 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 16a = 26 + 6

16a = 26 + 6

Combine like terms: 26 + 6 = 32

16a = 32

Divide each side by '16'.

a = 2

Simplifying

a = 2
