Hello! You can solve this doing the following steps:

1) Write your equation again so it’s easier to manipulate and change. 34 x A = 100.

2) Next, you can isolate, (or make the A variable on it’s own side of the equation), the variable

3) You can isolate the variable by dividing 34 on both sides. You divide because you are multiplying the variable A by 34 in the equation. And it can be rewritten as: 34A = 100 to what would now be: A = 100/34

4. Your final step is to divide 100 by 34, giving you the value of your variable.

100 / 34 = 2.941 or 2.9 for short.

I hope this helps, if you have any additional questions don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Answer:

A = 2.94

Explanation:

You need to isolate the variable. This can be done by performing the same operation to each side to eliminate the unwanted term. In this case, you should divide both sides by 34. This removes the 34 from the left side while also doing the same thing to both sides of the equation.

When you divide 34 from 100, you are left with 2.94 on the right side. Because the only thing on the left side is the variable, this would be your answer.
