To isolate c means to separate it completely on one side of the equals sign.

To isolate variables, you apply opposite operations.

In E = mc², m and c are being multiplied together. To separate them, you divide by the variable you want to get rid of. However, you must do this to both sides of the equation always. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other side as well. This is so the equation remains true.

Since we want to isolate c, we'll start by dividing both sides by m.

E = mc²

E/m = mc²/m

E/m = c² -- The m's cancel as 1

Now we have c squared. The opposite of squaring something is taking its square root. Take the square root of each side.

E/m = c²

√(E/m) = √(c²)

√(E/m) = c -- Opposite operations cancel each other out

And you've isolated c!

Answer:

c = √(E/m)

Alex finally had $(x+110) amount of money in his account i.e. He had $100 more then before!

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex wrote checks on Tuesday for $30 and $40. He also made a deposit in his checking account of $180. Let's solve it step by step :

Alex wrote checks on Tuesday for $30 and $40:

Let's suppose Alex initially had x amount of money out of which $30 & $40 is deducted! so left amount of money is $(x-70) .

He also made a deposit in his checking account of $180:

Out of left money $(x-70) , Alex deposited $180 in account so new money = $(x-70) + $180 = $(x+110)

Therefore, Alex finally had $(x+110) amount of money in his account i.e. He had $100 more then before!
