Question

Solve the following equation for a. Be sure to take into account whether a letter is capitalized or not. Ag=6

a. a = 6/g
b. a = 6/G
c. a = 6g
d. a = 6G

Answer 1

The correct solution to the equation Ag = 6, when isolating the variable 'a', is 'a = 6/G', which is option b in the choices provided. Capitalization matters as 'G' and 'g' signify distinct variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the following equation for a, we must isolate the variable 'a' on one side of the equation. Given the equation Ag = 6, we can divide both sides by the uppercase 'G' (which we have identified is not the acceleration due to gravity but another unique variable) to find 'a'.

Here are the steps:

• Ag = 6
• a = 6 ÷ G

It is important to note that we need to divide by uppercase 'G' and not lowercase 'g', since uppercase and lowercase letters represent different variables in mathematics and scientific equations. Therefore, the correct equation would be 'a = 6/G', which corresponds to option b.
