2-5 Solving for a Variable
A formula is an equation that states a rule for a relationship among quantities.
In the formula d = rt, d is isolated. You can "rearrange" a formula to isolate any variable by using inverse operations. This is called solving for a variable.

Solving for a VariableStep 1 Locate the variable you are asked to
solve for in the equation.Step 2 Identify the operations on this
variable and the order in which they are applied.
Step 3 Use inverse operations to undo operations and isolate the variable.

Example 1
Locate t in the equation.
Solve the formula d = rt for t
Since t is multiplied by r, divide both sides by r to undo the multiplication.
d = rt

Example 2The formula for the area of a triangle is A = bh, where b is the length of the base, and is the height. Solve for h.
Locate h in the equation. A = bhSince bh is multiplied by , divide both
sides by to undo the multiplication.2A = bh
Since h is multiplied by b, divide both sides by b to undo the multiplication.

Example 3The formula for a person’s typing speed is ,where s is speed in words per minute, w is number of words typed, e is number of errors, and m is number of minutes typing. Solve for e.
Locate e in the equation.Since w–10e is divided by m,
multiply both sides by m to undo the division.
ms = w – 10e–w –w
ms – w = –10e
Since w is added to –10e, subtract w from both sides to undo the addition.

Example 4The formula for an object’s final velocity is f = i – gt, where i is the object’s initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity, and t is time. Solve for i.
f = i – gt Locate i in the equation.
Since gt is subtracted from i, add gt to both sides to undo the subtraction.
f = i – gt+ gt +gt
f + gt = i
