Answer:

a = −1 / 2 b^3 + 1 / 2 bh

Explanation:

1 )

h = 2a / b^1 + b^2

2 ) Multiply both sides by b.

bh = b^3 + 2a

3 ) Flip the equation.

b^3 + 2a = bh

4 ) Add -b^3 to both sides.

b^3 + 2a + −b^3 = bh + −b^3

2a = −b^3 + bh

5 ) Divide both sides by 2.

2a / 2 = −b^3 + bh / 2

a = −1 / 2 b^3 + 1 / 2 bh

Hope this helps! :)
