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

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

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

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 1a = -2 + 3

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

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

Divide each side by '1'.
a = 1

Simplifying
a = 1
