Answer:

a = (M² - f)/(3d)

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

M = √(3ad + f)

Step 2: Solve for a

  1. Square both sides: M²= 3da + f
  2. Subtract f both sides: (M² - f) = 3da
  3. Divide both sides by 3: (M² - f)/3 = da
  4. Divide both sides by d: (M² - f)/(3d) = a
  5. Rewrite: a = (M² - f)/(3d)
