Answer 1

To solve a formula or equation for a specified variable means to rearrange it so that the variable appears alone on one side of the equal sign.

It is right because I got it right on usatestprep.

Answer 2

The fill in the blank should have the answer- SOLVE

Explanation:

The correct statement is :

To SOLVE a formula or equation for a specified variable means to rearrange it so that the variable appears alone on one side of the equal sign.

Like if we want to solve,
`x+3x+7=2x+5`

Then we will arrange the like terms (x terms) on one side and simple numbers on other side.
`x+3x-2x=5-7`

In this way we can solve any equation.
