Z = 24a - 2b

solve for a

a= (Z + 2b)/24

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

Z = 24a - 2b

to solve for a, we will try to move "a" to one side of the equation and all other terms to the other side:

Z = 24a - 2b    (add 2b to both sides)

Z + 2b = 24a -2b +2b

Z + 2b = 24a  (switch sides)

24a = Z + 2b (divide both sides by 24)

a/24 = (Z + 2b)/24

a= (Z + 2b)/24

none.
