Easy Literal Equations

Solve for t.
D= rt

• D/r = t

• Dr = t

• D/t = r

• Dt = r

Solve for m: A=m-b

• m=A-b

• m=A+b

• m=Ab

• m=A/b

Solve the equation for w.  
^{x = w / a}

• w = a / x

• w = x / a

• w = ax

• x = wa

ax + c = R (solve for x)

• ax = R + c

• ax = R - c

• x = a(R-c)

solve the literal equation for y 
EX: (y=__+__x)

solve the literal equation for y
EX: (y=__+__x)

Solve for y. 3x + y = 12

• y = -3x +12

• x = y + 4

• x = y + 12

• y = 3x -12

Solve for y:
8x + 4y = 12

• y = -x + 3

• y = 2x - 3

• y = -2x + 3

• y = -2x - 3

Solve for y.

y + 2 = 3x

• y = 2x + 3

• y= 3x +2

• y= 3x -2

• y= x
