Question

Solve formula as indicated. - F = m + 2a for a

Answer 1

The value of 'a' will be:

`a\:=\:-(f)/(2)+-(1)/(2)m`

Explanation:

Given the formula

`-F = m+2a`

Let us solve the equation for 'a'

`-F = m+2a`

Flip the equation

`2a+m=-f`

Add -m to both sides

`2a+m+(-m)=-f+(-m)`

`2a = -f - m`

Divide both sides by 2

`(2a)/(2)=\:\:(-f\:-\:m)/(2)`

`a\:=\:-(f)/(2)+-(1)/(2)m`

Therefore, the value of 'a' will be:

`a\:=\:-(f)/(2)+-(1)/(2)m`
