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

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 5a + 3 + 6b = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + 5a + 6b = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 5a + 6b = 0 + 3
5a + 6b = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
5a + 6b = 3

Add '-6b' to each side of the equation.
5a + 6b + -6b = 3 + -6b

Combine like terms: 6b + -6b = 0
5a + 0 = 3 + -6b
5a = 3 + -6b

Divide each side by '5'.
a = 0.6 + -1.2b

Simplifying
a = 0.6 + -1.2b
Solution
a = {0.6 + -1.2b}
