For this case we have the following expression:
From here, we must clear the value of a.
We then have the following steps:
Place the terms that depend on a on the same side of the equation:
Do common factor "a":
Clear the value of "a" by dividing the factor within the parenthesis:
Answer:
The clear expression for "a" is given by:
Find the given attachment
The answer is: The correct dose of medication to give is 5.6 mL
<h2>Why?</h2>To solve this problem we need to establish a relationship between the prescripted medication and the available solution.
Let's write the needed equations to establish the relantionship:
The available solution means 125 mg each 5 mL of solution, so:
Hence, the correct dose of medication to give is 5.6 mL of the 125 mg/5mL solution.
Have a nice day!
