Answer 1

a = (H-5b+4c)/3

Answer 2

Algebra

Answer 3

whats the steps in getting that answer? @stoopkid

Answer 4

1) Subtract all the terms not containing a from both sides: so subtract 5b then subtract -4a (add 4a).
2) You are left with a single term containing a. Divide everything in this term that is not a from both sides, i.e. divide both sides by 3.

Let me show you:

H = 3a + 5b - 4c

1) The term 5b does not contain a, so subtract it.
H - 5b = 3a - 4c

2) The term -4c does not contain a, so subtract it.
H - 5b + 4c = 3a

3) Divide everything that is not a in the term 3a.
(H - 5b + 4c)/3 = a
