(a) The appropriate form of the equation would be:
A + 2.2 = 8.14

(b) To solve the equation for A, we can subtract 2.2 from both sides:
A = 8.14 - 2.2

Simplifying the right side:
A = 5.94

Therefore, the go-kart had 5.94 liters of fuel to begin with.

(a) The appropriate form of the equation would be:
n = 4 * 2.3

(b) To solve the equation for n, we multiply 4 by 2.3:
n = 9.2

Therefore, Michael has earned a total of 9.2 points.

(a) The appropriate form of the equation would be:
L - 3.4 = 1.85

(b) To solve the equation for L, we can add 3.4 to both sides:
L = 1.85 + 3.4

Simplifying the right side:
L = 5.25

Therefore, the length of the rope at the beginning of the trick was 5.25 meters.

(a) The appropriate form of the equation would be:
d * 3 = 8.1

(b) To solve the equation for d, we can divide both sides by 3:
d = 8.1 / 3

Simplifying the right side:
d = 2.7

Therefore, the distance around the track is 2.7 kilometers.
