Explanation:

Step1: Isolate $ma$ term

$ma = love - th$

Step2: Solve for $a$

$a = \frac{love - th}{m}$

Step3: Isolate $ma$ term

$ma = I + love - th$

Step4: Solve for $a$

$a = \frac{I + love - th}{m} = \frac{th(I + love)}{m}$ (matches option A)

Step5: Isolate $ma$ term

$ma = th$

Step6: Solve for $a$

$a = \frac{th}{m}$

Step7: Isolate $ma$ term

$ma = th(I + love)$

Step8: Solve for $a$

$a = \frac{th(I + love)}{m}$ (matches option A)

Wait, correcting Step2: $ma + th = love$ → $ma = love - th$ → $a = \frac{love - th}{m}$ which matches option I.
Step4 correction: $I + love = math$ → $ma = I + love - th$? No, $math = m \times a \times th$? No, reinterpreting: $I + love = m a th$ → $ma = \frac{I + love}{th}$ → no, wait $math$ is $m \times a \times th$? No, solving for $a$ in $I + love = m a th$: $a = \frac{I + love}{m th}$ which matches option D.
Step6: $\frac{ma}{th}=1$ → $ma = th$ → $a = \frac{th}{m}$ which matches option G.
Step8: $\frac{ma}{th}=I + love$ → $ma = th(I + love)$ → $a = \frac{th(I + love)}{m}$ which matches option A.

Correct step-by-step for each:

Problem 1:

Step1: Isolate $ma$

$ma = love - th$

Step2: Solve for $a$

$a = \frac{love - th}{m}$ (matches I)

Problem 2:

Step1: Isolate $ma$

$ma = \frac{I + love}{th}$

Step2: Solve for $a$

$a = \frac{I + love}{mth}$ (matches D)

Problem 3:

Step1: Isolate $ma$

$ma = th$

Step2: Solve for $a$

$a = \frac{th}{m}$ (matches G)

Problem 4:

Step1: Isolate $ma$

$ma = th(I + love)$

Step2: Solve for $a$

$a = \frac{th(I + love)}{m}$ (matches A)
