Solving Literal Equations

Solve the literal equation for the given variable.

• 2A/h

• 2/(h)

• 2Ah

• Ah/2

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 t.
D= rt

• D/r = t

• Dr = t

• D/t = r

• Dt = r

Solve -2 = 4r + s for s.

• s = -2 + 4r

• s = 2 - 4r

• s = -2 - 4r

• s = 2 + 4r

Solve:
V = πr²h , for h

• V/(πr²) = h

• V - πr² = h

• V + πr² = h

• V/π = h

Solve for n:
2m - n = 8

• n = 2m - 8

• n = -2m - 8

• n = 2m + 8

• n = -2m + 8

ax + c = R
(solve for x) 

• ax = R + c

• ax = R - c

• x = a(R-c)

• x = (R-c) / a 

IR = V
(solve for R) 

• R = IV

• R = ^I/_V

• R = ^V/_I

• R = V - I
