Write your equation with the necessary care. c=ad/a+12 would be the same as the rendered form, c=ad%2Fa%2B12 which simplifies to c=d%2B12 and this is not what you really have.

Your equation must use correctly placed grouping symbols: c=ad/(a+12) which will properly show as c=ad%2F%28a%2B12%29.

The question requires solving the equation, or formula, for a in terms of c.

If formula is: c+=+ad%2Fa+%2B+12, then: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C5%2C+88%2C+%22%3C%22%2C+d%2C+%22%3C%22%2C+188%29%29
