Literal Equations

Solve for a.

• a = pw

• a = p/w

• a = w/p

• a = w + p

S = 3F - 24  Solve for F

• F = (S + 24)/3

• F = S/3 + 24

• F = 3S + 24

• F = 3(S + 24)

Solve for y:
8x + 4y= 16

• y = -8x + 16

• y = 2x -4

• y = -2x + 4

• y = -8x + 12

Solve -2 = 4r + s for s.

• s = -2 + 4r

• s = 2 - 4r

• s = -2 - 4r

• s = 2 + 4r

IR = V
(solve for R) 

• R = IV

• R = ^I/_V

• R = ^V/_I

• R = V - I

Solve for x. 
z = xy

• x = ^z/_y

• x = ^y/_z

• x = yz

• y = xz

Solve:
y = mx + b , for b

• y - mx = b

• y + mx = b

• ^y/_mx = b

• y + mx = -b

Solve for s. 
r = 2s - 8

• s =  r + 2  
  

• s = r/2 + 4

• s = r + 8 2
