See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(2.53)# to solve for #a# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(2.53) xx 12 = color(red)(2.53) xx a/2.53#

#30.36 = cancel(color(red)(2.53)) xx a/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2.53)))#

#30.36 = a#

#a = 30.36#
