To solve for $a$ in the equation $n = (b + d^2)a$, we’ll isolate $a$ by dividing both sides by $b + d^2$:

$n = (b + d^2)a$

Divide both sides by $b + d^2$:

$a = \frac{n}{b + d^2}$

Thus, the solution for $a$ is:

$a = \frac{n}{b + d^2}$

Tip:

When isolating a variable, remember to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation to maintain equality.
