What is the first step in rearranging formulas?

• Perform the opposite operation on the other side

• Subtract the same value from both sides

• Add the same value to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the same value

In the January 2016 Regents example, what operation is needed to isolate r in the formula I = PRT?

• Add P and T to both sides

• Subtract P and T from both sides

• Multiply I by P and T

• Divide I by P and T

In the January 2015 Regents example, what should you do to solve for r?

• Multiply V by pi and H

• Divide V by pi and H

• Add pi and H to V

• Subtract pi and H from V

What is the correct answer choice when solving for r in the January 2015 Regents example?

• Choice 4

• Choice 3

• Choice 2

• Choice 1

In the August 2015 Regents example, what should you do to solve for r?

• Add 1/3 to V

• Divide V by 3

• Subtract 1/3 from V

• Multiply V by 3

In the June 2014 Regents example, what is the final step to solve for r?

• Square the entire formula

• Take the square root of the entire formula

• Subtract the square root from both sides

• Add the square root to both sides

In the June 2015 Regents example, what should you do to solve for t?

• Move a to the bottom of the other side

• Move a to the top of the other side

• Multiply d by 2

• Divide d by 2

In the June 2015 Regents example, what is the final step to solve for t?

• Add the square root to both sides

• Subtract the square root from both sides

• Take the square root of the entire formula

• Square the entire formula

In the August 2014 Regents example, what should you do to isolate b1?

• Divide A by 2

• Multiply A by 2

• Move h to the bottom of the other side

• Move h to the top of the other side
