Questionve the following equation for . Be sure to take into account whether a letter
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking? We're asked to rearrange a simple equation to solve for the variable , essentially flipping it around! Watch out! Don't forget that when manipulating equations, whatever you do to one side, you *must* do to the other to keep things balanced.
STEP 2
1. Isolate
2. Calculate
STEP 3
We want to get out of the denominator.
To do that, let's **multiply both sides** of the equation by .
Remember, what we do to one side, we *must* do to the other!
On the right side, the in the numerator and the in the denominator divide to one, leaving us with:
STEP 4
Now, we want to get out of the denominator on the left side.
We can do this by **multiplying both sides** by :
On the left side, the in the numerator and the in the denominator divide to one, giving us:
STEP 5
Finally, to isolate , we need to **divide both sides** by : On the left side, the in the numerator and the in the denominator divide to one, so we get: Now, is completely isolated, and we have a formula for it!
STEP 6
Since the problem didn't give us specific values for and , we can't calculate a numerical value for .
Our **final answer** is the formula we derived:
STEP 7
Our solution for is:
