Isolating Variables in Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve for specific variables in different equations. It covers isolating variables by using operations such as division and subtraction. The tutorial demonstrates solving for P in I = PRT, Y in 11x + 2y = 6, C in a = b(C + d), and T in a = p + PRT. It emphasizes that equations can be expressed in multiple forms and provides step-by-step guidance for each example.

In the equation I = PRT, what operation is used to isolate 'p'?

• Division

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

What is the final expression for 'p' in the equation I = PRT?

• p = I + RT

• p = I * RT

• p = RT / I

• p = I / RT

In the equation 11x + 2y = 6, what is the first step to isolate 'y'?

• Add 11x to both sides

• Subtract 11x from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Divide both sides by 2

What is the expression for 'y' after isolating it in 11x + 2y = 6?

• y = 6 + 11x

• y = 6 / 11x

• y = 11x / 6

• y = (6 - 11x) / 2

In the equation a = b(C + d), what is one method to isolate 'C'?

• Multiply both sides by b

• Subtract d from both sides

• Add d to both sides

• Divide both sides by b

What is the expression for 'C' after isolating it in a = b(C + d)?

• C = a - b / d

• C = a * b - d

• C = a / b + d

• C = a / b - d

In the equation a = p + PRT, what is the first step to isolate 'T'?

• Divide both sides by PR

• Add p to both sides

• Subtract p from both sides

• Multiply both sides by PR

What is the expression for 'T' after isolating it in a = p + PRT?

• T = a * p / R

• T = (a + p) / PR

• T = (a - p) / PR

• T = a / (p + PR)

How can the expression for 'T' be further simplified in a = p + PRT?

• T = a / PR * 1/R

• T = a / PR + 1/R

• T = a / PR / 1/R

• T = a / PR - 1/R

Which of the following is a correct alternative expression for 'T' in a = p + PRT?

• T = a / PR + p / PR

• T = a / PR - p / PR

• T = a / PR * p / PR

• T = a / PR / p / PR
