Answer:

11. r = d/t

12. v = f - at

13. X = (C - BY)/A

14. l = 2A/P

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve this problems

11.

- The equation is d = rt

- We want to solve the equation for r, then we must separate r in

one side and the rest in the other side

∵ r is multiplied by t

∴ divide both sides by t

∴ d/t = r

- Switch the two sides

∴ r = d/t

12.

- The equation is f = v + at

- To solve the equation for v, then we must separate v in

one side and the rest in the other side

∵ v is added to at

∴ subtract at from both sides

∴ f - at = v

- Switch the two sides

∴ v = f - at

13.

- The equation is AX + BY = C

- To solve the equation for x, then we must separate x in

one side and the rest in the other side

∵ AX is added to BY

∴ subtract BY from both sides

∴ AX = C - BY

∵ X is multiplied by A

∴ Divide both sides by A

∴ X = (C - BY)/A

14.

- The equation is A = 1/2 Pl

- To solve the equation for l, then we must separate l in

one side and the rest in the other side

∵ l is multiplied by 1/2 P

∴ Divide both sides by 1/2 P

∴ A/(1/2 P) = l

- A divided by 1/2 = 2A

∴ 2A/P = l

- Switch the two sides

∴ l = 2A/P

Solving for a variable means to rewrite the equation so that the desired variable is alone on one side. So, we have to "move" all the other variables/constants in order to make this happen. We are allowed to add/subtract the same quantity from both sides, or to multiply/divide both sides by any non-zero number.

Let's start with the first example: we are given

11. $d=rt$

the variable $r$ is not alone on the right hand side because it is multiplied by $t$ . We can reverse this by dividing both sides by $t$ : the equation becomes

$\dfrac{d}{t}=\dfrac{rt}{t}=r$

So, we have written the equation as $r=\frac{d}{t}$ , which means that $r$ now sits alone on one side of the equation, and thus we have solved the equation for $r$ !
