Question

Bc = ad

solve for a

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{a=(bc)/(d)}`

Explanation:

In order to find the value of a when we have the equation
`bc=ad`, our goal is to isolate a on one side.

The key question here is: what's stopping a from being alone on one side? That would be it being multiplied by
`d`. If we were able to remove the d, we would have a by itself.

Since we are multiplying a and d, we can get rid of the d by dividing both sides by d.

We have to divide both sides of the equation by the same value in order to keep it equal.

`bc / d = ad / d\\\\(bc)/(d)=a\\\\a = (bc)/(d)`

Hope this helped!
