Question

I dont get what its asking can someone help. Solve P=4(3a-b) for a in terms of P and b.

Answer 1

cat fight?

Answer 2

if a(b)=c Then c/b=a ....

Answer 3

Basically instead of expressing P=f(a,b) in terms of a and b, you have to express a=f'(P,b) in terms of P and b

Answer 4

still confused -_-

Answer 5

P=4(3a-b) or P/4=3a-b or (P/4) +b=3a
so a=P/12 +b/3

Answer 6

it wants you to put p and b on the same side. generalize and use algebra

Answer 7

multiply out. P = 12a - 4b Now move -4b to the left hand side because you want to isolate 12a
+4b +4b So you add 4b to both sides
P+4b = 12a Divide by 12 on both sides to get a
P+4b/12 = a Reduce 4b/12 by dividing by 4
P+ b/3 = a Final answer

Answer 8

merchandize, the first term would be P/12 after dividing by 12

Answer 9

Yah the wording was a little confusing Solo, they're just telling you to "Solve for a" :)

Answer 10

okay

Answer 11

the question says that calculate a in terms of p and b.......so we just calculate the value of a in terms of p and b....

Answer 12

the value of a will be only the answer
