To solve the equation \(5A - 8B = 170\) for \(A\), you want to isolate \(A\) on one side of the equation. Here are the steps:
1. Start with the original equation:
\[
5A - 8B = 170
\]
2. Add \(8B\) to both sides to move the term involving \(B\) to the other side:
\[
5A = 170 + 8B
\]
3. Next, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \(A\):
\[
A = \frac{170 + 8B}{5}
\]
Now, the expression for \(A\) is:
\[
A = \frac{170 + 8B}{5}
\]
This is your simplified answer for \(A\).
