Literal Equations Lessons

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 -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 for s. 
r = 2s - 8

• s =  r + 2  
  
• s = r/2 + 4
• s = r + 8 2
  
• s = 2r + 16

Solve:
a - b - c = 9 , for a

• a = b + c + 9
• a = b - c + 9
• a = -b + c + 9
• a = -b - c + 9

Solve:
C = xv + x    , for     v

• (C-x)/x = v
• (C+x)/x = v
• (-C-x)/x = v
• (Cx)/x = v

Solve for x:

• x = yb - v
• x = by - v
• x = by + v
