Question

A=1/2pa, solve for p
NO LINKS PLEASEE!! IM BEGGING YOU NO LINKSS!!!

Answer 1

A = (1/2)Pa = Pa/2

You can multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction on the right side:

2A = 2(Pa/2) = Pa

Then divide both sides by a (or multiply both sides by 1/a) to leave P alone on the right side:

(2A)(1/a) = 2A/a = (Pa)(1/a) = P

Rewriting:

P = 2A/a

You could also have divided by a first then multiplied by 2; which you should do first does not matter in this example.
