Question

Make p the subject of this equation:
k=a/2(1/2-p)

Answer 1

Does that mean solve for p? What does making p the subect mean?

Answer 2

I would divde both sides to get k/(a/2) = (1/2-p)
then 2k/a-1/2 = 1/2-p -1/2 to get p = (2k/a) - (1/2) is this what you are looking for?

Answer 3

hi mathdood -
yes solve for p

Answer 4

Alright it should be what I said p = (2k/a)-(1/2) you just use algebra do you understand how I got this answer?

Answer 5

yes - thanks so much mathdood. I am new to studying this and need a pointer in the right direction. This site will be very helpful. Thanks again.
