Literal Equations

A-B = C
(solve for A) 

• A = C - B
• A = C + B
• A - C = B
• B = A - C

IR = V
(solve for R) 

• R = IV
• R = I/V
• R = V/I
• R = V - I

W = A/L
 (solve for A) 

• A = W/L
• A = LW
• A = W + L
• A = W - L

ax + c = R
(solve for x) 

• ax = R + c
• ax = R - c
• x = a(R-c)
• x = (R-c) / a 

Solve for y

2x - 3y = 5

• x = (5 + 3y) /2

• y = (5- 2x) / -3

• y = 5 - 2x

• y = (5 + 2x) / 3

Solve for y:

6x - 5y = 20

• y = (6x - 20) / 5

• y = 20 - 6x

• y = -4 + 6x

• y = 6x - 4

Solve for y:
5x - y = 16

• -y = 5x + 16
• y = 5x + 16
• x = 5y - 16
• y = 5x - 16

Solve the equation for w.  
^{x = w / a}

• w = a / x
• w = x / a
• w = ax
• x = wa

Solve the equation for d. 
d / t = r

• d = r / t
• d = t / r
• d = rt
• d = r - t

S = 3F - 24  Solve for F

• F = (S + 24)/3
• F = S/3 + 24
• F = 3S + 24
• F = 3(S + 24)
