Answer 1

So note we have to solve for a, which mean we want a on it's own and in the numerator. So see how 23 is being divided by a, we can put it as following \[23 \times \frac{ 1 }{ a } =8\]

Answer 2

huh?

Answer 3

As it's being divided by a, and we have 8 on that side, we don't have to do much with the 23, so you can "cross multiply" 1/a with 8

Answer 4

To put it simply what happens if we multiply both sides by a?
