Multiple Choice
A-B = C
(solve for A)
A = C - B
A = C + B
A - C = B
B = A - C
4
rt means r times t (multiplication)
Opposite (inverse operation) is division
Divide both sides by t
5
Multiple Choice
g = 6x solve for x
x = 6 g
x = g6
x = g+6
x = g−6
6
Open Ended
How do you think I could get y by itself?
7
kx go together so they are one term
kx is being added
The opposite of addition is subtraction
Subtract kx from both sides
8
Open Ended

Multiple Choice
2h = w-3p
(solve for p)
p = (2h - w) / -3
p = (2h - w) / 3
p = -6hw
p = -6h - 3w
13
Multiple Choice
Solve for v
C = xv + x
(C-x)/x = v
(C+x)/x = v
(-C-x)/x = v
(Cx)/x = v
14
Multiple Choice
(solve for x)

16
Multiple Choice
What is the next step t get h by itself?
Add R
Subtract R
Multiply by R
Divide by R
17
18
Multiple Choice
IR = V
(solve for R)
Watch video for help on example!
Solve the problem on a piece of paper / notebook.
R = IV
R = I/V
R = V/I
R = V - I

Multiple Choice
Solve for x: yx=z
y=xz
x=zy
x=z-y
x=z+y
21
Multiple Choice
w=em+y Solve for y
y=w−em
y=w+em
y=emw
y=wem
22
Multiple Choice
V=lwh solve for h
h=Vlw
h=Vwl
h=lwV
h=lVw
23
Multiple Choice
am+xy=c solve for y
y=xc−am
y=xc+am
y=c−amx
y=amc−x
24
Multiple Choice
p=ax+g Solve for x
x=ap+g
x=ap−g
x=ap+g
x=ap−g
25
Multiple Choice
ax + c = R
(solve for x)
Watch video for help on example!
Solve the problem on a piece of paper / notebook.
ax = R + c
ax = R - c
x = a(R-c)
x = (R-c) / a
26
Multiple Choice
F = (GMm) / r2
(solve for G)
Solve the problem on a piece of paper / notebook.
G = (Fr2) / (Mm)
G = FMmr2
Fr2 = GMm
Fr2M2 = G
27
Multiple Choice

2A/h
2/(h)
2Ah
Ah/2
29
Multiple Choice
Solve for x: u = 2x - 2
x = u−1
x = u2 +2
x x = 2(u−2)
x = 2u+1
