So, you have 12=a/36+17.
Now, you want to get A by itself, so you can move the 17 to the other side and then you would have A on the right side by itself.
So, to get rid of the 17, subtract 17 from both sides and you get
-5=a/36
Now, since A is being divided by 36, if you times both sides by 36, you would have A by itself completely.
So, multiply both sides by 36 and you get
-180=A

Subtract 17 from both sides to get -5=a/36. Then multiply both sides by 36 to get -180=a. Good luck.

first subtract 17 from both sides...
12-17=a/36
-5=a/36
-5/1=a/36
cross multiply
-180=a

12= a/36+17
-17+12=a/36
-5=a/36
-5X36= -180
a= -180 is this correct ?- I hacven't done this in 30 years - hope it helps

reverse the order of operations.
Order of operations is...
First do all operations that lie inside parentheses.
Next, do any work with exponents or radicals.
Working from left to right, do all multiplication and division.
Finally, working from left to right, do all addition and subtraction
12-17 = a/36.
-5 = a/36
-5 times 36 = a
a = -180
