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

Add '-3.6a' to each side of the equation.
1 + 3a + -3.6a = 3.6 + 3.6a + -3.6a

Combine like terms: 3a + -3.6a = -0.6a
1 + -0.6a = 3.6 + 3.6a + -3.6a

Combine like terms: 3.6a + -3.6a = 0.0
1 + -0.6a = 3.6 + 0.0
1 + -0.6a = 3.6

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -0.6a = 3.6 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -0.6a = 3.6 + -1
-0.6a = 3.6 + -1

Combine like terms: 3.6 + -1 = 2.6
-0.6a = 2.6

Divide each side by '-0.6'.
a = -4.333333333

Simplifying
a = -4.333333333
