Rearranging Equations to Standard Form

Solve the literal equation for the given variable.

• 2A/h
• 2/(h)
• 2Ah
• Ah/2

ax + c = R
(solve for x) 

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

Solve:
y = mx + b , for b

• y - mx = b
• y + mx = b
• ^y/_mx = b
• y + mx = -b

Solve for x:

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

Solve:
V = LWH, for W

• V/(LH) = W
• V-LH = W
• V + LH = W
• V/H = W

Solve for y:
8x + 4y= 16

• y = -8x + 16
• y = 2x -4
• y = -2x + 4
• y = -8x + 12

Solve for y:
2x + y = 41

• x = 2y + 41
• y = 2x -41
• y = -2x + 41
• x = y -39

S = 3F - 24  Solve for F

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

Solve m - n = 5 for m.

• m = 5 + n
• m = -5 - n
• m = -5 + n
• m = 5 - n

Solve -2 = 4r + s for s.

• s = -2 + 4r
• s = 2 - 4r
• s = -2 - 4r
• s = 2 + 4r
