    7 (3a + 12) = 168 ← (divide both sides by 7)

    3a + 12 = 24 ← (subtract 12 from both sides)

    3a = 12 ← (divide both sides by 3)

    a = 4

    OR

    distribute the parenthesis by 7

    21a + 84 = 168 ← (subtract 84 from both sides)

    21a = 84 ← (divide both sides by 21)

    a = 4
