How to solve it: a worked example

Solve each formula for the letter shown.

  1. Start9r = s, solve for r
  2. Divide by 9r = s9
  3. Answerr = s9

Common mistakes to watch for

  • Dividing only one term by the coefficient: (P − 2l)/2, not P − 2l/2.
  • Undoing operations in the wrong order: subtract before dividing.
  • Forgetting to collect both terms with the letter before factoring it out.
