Question

Solve each literal equation for 'K'. a) T=4K/M b) bm-Kn=14

Answer 1

a) T = 4K / M

1) multiply both sides by M => TM = 4K

2) divide both sides by 4 => K = TM / 4

Answer: K = TM / 4

b) bm - Kn = 14

1) add Kn to both sides => bm = 14 + Kn

2) subtract 14 from both sides => bm - 14 = Kn

3) divide both terms by n => K = [bm - 14] / n

Answer: K = [bm - 14] / n
