Question

Rearrange the equation so u is the independent variable. -12u+13=8w-3 w= ___

Answer 1

Answer:

w = $\frac{-12u+16}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Reverse the equation placing w on the left side

8w - 3 = - 12u + 13 ( add 3 to both sides )

8w = - 12u + 16 ( divide both sides by 8 )

w = $\frac{-12u+16}{8}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$w = \frac{4-3u}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

$-12u + 13 = 8w - 3$

For making u is as an independent variable we need to isolate w,

Add 3  on both sides,

$-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w$

$-12u + 16 = 8w$

Divide both sides by 8,

$\frac{-12u+16}{8}=w$

$\frac{4(-3u+4)}{8}=w$

$\frac{-3u+4}{2}=w$

$\implies w = \frac{4-3u}{2}$

Which is the required equation.
