4.692A+30=3.7A-.4 COMBINE THE As & THE NUMBERS THUS
4.692A-3.7A=-.4-30
.992A=-30.4 DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY .992
A=-30.4/.992 REDUCE BY DIVIDING BOTH NUMERATOR & DENOMINATOR BY 16
A=-1.9/.062

Solve:
First, get the variable a onto one side of the equation. You can do this by subtracting 3.7a from both sides.
Simplify this.
Now subtract 30 from both sides so that you will have the term with the variable, a, by itself.
Finally, divide both sides by 0.992 so that you have a single a on the left side.
Simplify this.
Approximately.
