The answer if solving for $a$ is $a = -8$ .

First, you must combine all like terms.which would give you

$-6a -4 = 44$

Then you would make it equal on both sides. You will take away your negative four from the left side by adding it to the other, giving you

$-6a = 48$

Finally, you will divide by your number with a variable behind it which in this case happens to be $-6a$ . This will give you your final answer of

$a = -8$

Hope this was helpful to you.
