Answers

1. Answer :

3x - a = kx + b

Subtract kx from each side.

3x - a - kx = b

Add a to each side.

3x - kx = b - a

Distributive property.

x(3 - k) = b - a

Divide each side by (3 - k).

x = b ⁻ ᵃ⁾⁄₍₃ ₋ k

2. Answer :

A = ½ ⋅ (a + b)h

Multiply each side by 2.

2A = (a + b)h

Divide each side by (a + b).

²ᴬ⁄₍ₐ ₊ b = h

3. Answer :

C = ⁵⁄₉ ⋅ (F - 32)

Multiply each side by ⁹⁄₅

C⁄₅ = F - 32

Add 32 to each side. 

C⁄₅ + 32 = F

4. Answer :

2x + 3y = 18

Subtract 2x from each side. 

3y = 18 - 2x

Divide each side by 3.

y = ⁽¹⁸ ⁻ ²ˣ⁾⁄₃

y = ¹⁸⁄₃ - ²ˣ⁄₃

y = 6 - ²ˣ⁄₃

5. Answer :

2x = ⁽ˣʸ ⁺ ³⁾⁄y

Multiply each side by y.

2xy = xy + 3

Subtract xy from each side.

xy = 3

Divide each side by y.

x = ³⁄y

6. Answer :

⁽ᵃb ⁻ ¹⁾⁄₃ = c

Multiply each side by 3. 

ab - 1 = 3c

Add 1 to each side.

ab = 3c + 1

Divide each side by a.

b = ⁽³ᶜ ⁺ ¹⁾⁄ₐ

7. Answer :

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle :

P = 2l + 2w

In the above formula,

P ----> Perimeter

l ----> Length

w ----> Width

Solve the above formula for length (l).

P = 2l + 2w

Subtract 2w from each side.

P - 2w = 2l

Divide each side by 2.

⁽ᴾ ⁻ ²ʷ⁾⁄₂ = l

8. Answer :

n = (k - 1)d

Subtract k from each side. 

n - a = (k - 1)d

Distributive property. 

n - a = kd - d

Add d to each side. 

n - a + d = kd

Divide each side by d. 

⁽ⁿ ⁻ ᵃ ⁺ ᵈ⁾⁄d = k

9. Answer :

logx + logy = log(x + y)

Use fundamental law of logarithm on the left side of the equation. 

log(xy) = log(x + y)

xy = x + y

Subtract y from each side.

xy - y = x

Use the Distributive property.

y(x - 1) = x

Divide each side by (x - 1).

y = ˣ⁄₍ₓ ₋ ₁₎

10. Answer :

According to the question, we have to solve for v2 in the equation given below.
