Isolate I for the literal equation V = IR

In order to isolate any term from an equation we need to clear out any different variable or numbers different from the one we want


V=IR

in this case I is being multiplied by R, so we need to do the opposite which is divide in order to eliminate


V=(IR)/(R)

But since this is an equality we must do it on both sides so de equation does not get altered


(V)/(R)=(IR)/(R)

Then we simplify the equation


I=(V)/(R)
