The formula after making t subject of the formula is:


t = (2-3q)/(q+4)

Explanation:

Given formula is:


q = (2-4t)/(t+3)

To make t the subject of the formula we have to isolate t

So,

Cross-multiplying


q(t+3) = 2-4t\\qt+3q = 2-4t

Adding 4t on both sides


qt+3q+4t = 2-4t+4t\\qt+3q+4t = 2

Subtracting 3q from both sides


qt+3q+4t-3q = 2-3q\\qt+4t = 2-3q

Taking t common on left hand side


t(q+4)=2-3q

Dividing both sides by q+4


(t(q+4))/(q+4)=(2-3q)/(q+4)\\t = (2-3q)/(q+4)

The formula after making t subject of the formula is:


t = (2-3q)/(q+4)
