Question

Rearrange the following formula to make x the subject: v=2xy

Answer 1

v/2y = x

Explanation:

In order to make x the subject of this formula, we are going to use basic algebra.

The formula:

v = 2xy

Divide both sides by 2:

v/2 = 2xy

Divide both sides by y:

v/2y = x

Therefore, x = v/2y.

Answer 2

x =
`(v)/(2y)`

Explanation:

v = 2xy

isolate x by dividing both sides by 2y

`(v)/(2y)` =
`(2xy)/(2y)` ( simplify )

`(v)/(2y)` = x
