Answer

$x=\frac{a}{2+6z}$, where $z\neq0$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow a=2x+6xz$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow a=x(2+6z)$ Divide each side by $2+6z$. $\Rightarrow \frac{a}{2+6z}=\frac{x(2+6z)}{2+6z}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \frac{a}{2+6z}=x$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $x=\frac{a}{2+6z}$, where $z\neq0$.
