Answer:

a = h/5

Explanation:

If you had the equation ...

10 = 5a

and you wanted to find the value of the variable, you would divide by its coefficient:

10/5 = (5a)/5

2 = a

__

Here, we have replaced '10' with 'h'. The same (single) step applies: divide by the coefficient of 'a'.

h = 5a

h/5 = a

To put this in "a = " form, swap the sides of the equal sign:

a = h/5

_____

Literal equations just use different symbols (h instead of 10, here). The operations are the same.
