Solving Formulas Literal Equations

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

Solve for r.

• A
• B
• C
• D

S = 3F - 24  Solve for F

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

8x + 4y= 16

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

5x - y = 16

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

Solve for the indicated variable.

• I = V/R
• I = R/V
• I = RV
• I = VR

Solve for the indicated variable.

• A = l/w
• w = l/A
• w = A
• w = A/l

pV = nRT
solve for R

• R= pV/nT
• R= p/n + V/T
• R= pV - nT
• R= (pV-n)/T

Solve m - n = 5 for m.

• m = 5 + n
• m = -5 - n
• m = -5 + n
• m = 5 - n
