4d/a - 9 = g for a Add 9 to each side: 4d/a - 9 + 9 = g + 9 Cancel the 9's on the left side and we get: 4d/a = g + 9 Cross multiply: 4d = a(g + 9) Divide each side of the equation by (g + 9) to isolate a: 4d/(g + 9) = a(g + 9)/(g + 9) Cancel the (g + 9) on the right side, and we get: a = 4d/(g + 9)
