Solve 12=t/a

$$12 = \frac { t } { a }$$

Solve for a

$$a=\frac{t}{12}$$

$$t\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by a.

$$12a=t$$

Divide both sides by 12.

$$\frac{12a}{12}=\frac{t}{12}$$

Dividing by 12 undoes the multiplication by 12.

$$a=\frac{t}{12}$$

Variable a cannot be equal to 0.

$$a=\frac{t}{12}\text{, }a\neq 0$$

Solve for t

$$t=12a$$

$$a\neq 0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by a.

$$12a=t$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$t=12a$$
