Solve this equation for A A divides 2 equals 4?

Answer 1

Written algebraically, the equation is (2/A)=4.

The first step is to move the variable A from the denominator. To do this, multiply both sides of the equation by A:

A*(2/A)=4*A

The A in the denominator on the left is canceled out and we are left with:

2=4*A

To solve for A divide both sides of the equation by 4:

2/4=A

Two over four simplifies to one half, which equals A:

1/2=A
