GCSE Maths - Rearranging Formulas Part 2 - When The Subject Appears Twice #49

The video tutorial explains how to rearrange equations to make a specific letter the subject. It outlines a four-step process: removing fractions and brackets, collecting subject terms on one side, factorizing to isolate the subject letter, and finalizing the subject. The tutorial includes examples and emphasizes the importance of practice to master the technique.

What is the first step in rearranging an equation to make a particular letter the subject?

• Collect all terms on one side

• Expand brackets and remove fractions

• Factorize the equation

• Divide both sides by the subject

When making X the subject, which terms are considered subject terms?

• All terms

• Terms with X

• Terms with Y

• Constant terms

What is the purpose of factorizing the subject terms in an equation?

• To add more terms

• To eliminate fractions

• To isolate the subject letter

• To simplify the equation

What is the final step in rearranging an equation to isolate the subject?

• Divide by the factorized term

• Add all terms to one side

• Subtract the constant

• Multiply by the subject

In the example of making B the subject, what operation is used to eliminate the fraction?

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Division

Why might you not need to follow the exact steps outlined in the tutorial for every equation?

• There are no other methods

• The steps are too complex

• The steps are incorrect

• Some equations are simpler

What is a key takeaway from practicing rearranging equations?

• It is a waste of time

• It is only useful for complex equations

• It helps understand algebra better

• It is unnecessary for algebra
