Step by Step Written Solution
Let's solve this algebra problem. We are given an equation and asked to rewrite it to find the value of the constant a.
Solving for a Constant
Here is our starting equation: four T minus eight D equals twelve H.
The problem asks us to rewrite it in the form T equals a D plus b H. This means we first need to isolate the term with T on the left side.
Target Form: $T = aD + bH$
To do that, let's add eight D to both sides of the equation.
Now, we have four T on the left. To isolate T completely, we need to divide every term in the entire equation by four.
