Solve each equation or formula for the variable specified.
v = r + at, for a.
3/5m + a = b, solve for m.
3ax - n over 5 = -4, for x.
PLEASE EXPLAIN... Its not making any sense!
To solve for a variable means to get it alone. So if they tell you to solve for a, the outcome should look like "a = ..."
For example:
v = r + at
v - r = at
(v - r) / t = a
a = (v - r) / t
I subtracted the r from both sides to move it to the left. Then divided both sides by t. What gets left at the end is an equation solved for a
