it should be c if the subscript g is a factor as well

Answer: Hello mate!

The formula is
F = G(m1*m2)/(r^(2) )

and we want to solve it for r, which means that we need to isolate r.

The first step is multiply both sides by r squared:


r^(2)*F = G*m1*m2

now we divide both sides by F


r^(2) =G(m1*m2)/(F)

now we aply square root in both sides:


\sqrt{ r^(2) } = r = \sqrt{G(m1*m2)/(F) }

And now you have r isolated.

Then the right answer is option C.
