Question

How do you solve `12=a/2.53`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(2.53)` to solve for `a` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(2.53) xx 12 = color(red)(2.53) xx a/2.53`

`30.36 = cancel(color(red)(2.53)) xx a/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2.53)))`

`30.36 = a`

`a = 30.36`
