(1−100)a3
Subtract the numbers
−99a3
−99a3−32=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−99a3=0+32
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−99a3=32
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
99a3=−32
Divide both sides
9999a3=99−32
Divide the numbers
a3=99−32
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
a3=−9932
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3a3=3−9932
Calculate
a=3−9932
