What is the primary goal when solving multivariable equations?

• To simplify the equation

• To eliminate all variables

• To isolate a specific variable

• To find the value of all variables

What is the purpose of isolating a variable in an equation?

• To eliminate constants

• To simplify the equation

• To solve for a specific variable

• To find the value of all variables

In the equation D = RT, what operation is used to solve for R?

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Division

After dividing both sides by T in the equation D = RT, what is the resulting equation?

• R = D + T

• R = D - T

• R = D / T

• R = D * T

What is the result of dividing both sides of an equation by the same term?

• The equation becomes more complex

• The term is added to both sides

• The term is eliminated from one side

• The equation remains unchanged

What is the first step in solving the equation D = RT for R?

• Subtract T from both sides

• Add T to both sides

• Multiply both sides by T

• Divide both sides by T

In the equation D = RT, what is the result of dividing both sides by T?

• R = D * T

• R = D / T

• R = D - T

• R = D + T

In the equation A + B = C, what is the first step to solve for B?

• Add A to both sides

• Subtract A from both sides

• Divide both sides by A

• Multiply both sides by A

What is the final form of B in the equation A + B = C after isolating B?

• B = C + A

• B = C / A

• B = C * A

• B = C - A

In the equation A + B = C, what happens if A is subtracted from both sides?

• B = C / A

• B = C * A

• B = C - A

• B = C + A
