The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions. So, you'd do:

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{78}{x} and then solve for x. 

x=52

Change the subject of the formula L = v 4kt - p to k.
Romashka [77]

Answer:

\boxed{k = \frac{L^2 + p}{4t}}

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

Basic Equality Properties

  1. Multiplication Property of Equality
  2. Division Property of Equality
  3. Addition Property of Equality
  4. Subtraction Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify given.</em>

<em />\displaystyle L = \sqrt{4kt - p}

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><u><em>k</em></u>
We can use equality properties to help us rewrite the equation to get <em>k</em> as our subject:

Let's first <em>square both sides</em>:

\displaystyle\begin{aligned}L = \sqrt{4kt - p} & \rightarrow L^2 = \big( \sqrt{4kt - p} \big) ^2 \\& \rightarrow L^2 = 4kt - p \\\end{aligned}

Next, <em>add p to both sides</em>:

\displaystyle\begin{aligned}L = \sqrt{4kt - p} & \rightarrow L^2 = \big( \sqrt{4kt - p} \big) ^2 \\& \rightarrow L^2 = 4kt - p \\& \rightarrow L^2 + p = 4kt \\\end{aligned}

Next, <em>divide 4t by both sides</em>:

\displaystyle\begin{aligned}L = \sqrt{4kt - p} & \rightarrow L^2 = \big( \sqrt{4kt - p} \big) ^2 \\& \rightarrow L^2 = 4kt - p \\& \rightarrow L^2 + p = 4kt \\& \rightarrow \frac{L^2 + p}{4t} = k \\\end{aligned}

We can rewrite the new equation by swapping sides to obtain our final expression:

\displaystyle\begin{aligned}L = \sqrt{4kt - p} & \rightarrow \boxed{k = \frac{L^2 + p}{4t}}\end{aligned}

∴ we have <em>changed</em> the subject of the formula.
