Rewriting Literal Equations and Formulas

Solve the literal equation for the given variable.

• 2A/h
• 2/(h)
• 2Ah
• Ah/2

Solve for a.

• a = pw
• a = p/w
• a = w/p
• a = w + p

S = 3F - 24  Solve for F

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

Solve for y:
8x + 4y= 16

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

Solve for y:
5x - y = 16

• -y = 5x + 16
• y = 5x + 16
• x = 5y - 16
• y = 5x - 16

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

IR = V
(solve for R) 

• R = IV
• R = ^I/_V
• R = ^V/_I
• R = V - I

Solve:
y = mx + b , for b

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

Solve for x. 
z = xy

• x = ^z/_y
• x = ^y/_z
• x = yz
• y = xz
