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

Add '-3a' to each side of the equation.
2 + 2a + -3a = -9 + 3a + -3a

Combine like terms: 2a + -3a = -1a
2 + -1a = -9 + 3a + -3a

Combine like terms: 3a + -3a = 0
2 + -1a = -9 + 0
2 + -1a = -9

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1a = -9 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1a = -9 + -2
-1a = -9 + -2

Combine like terms: -9 + -2 = -11
-1a = -11

Divide each side by '-1'.
a = 11

Simplifying
a = 11
