Question

Solve A = one halfp + t for p in terms of A and t.

Answer 1

p = 2(A – t)

p = 2A – t

p = A – 2t

p = the quantity of A minus t all over two

Answer 2

\[\large A=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }p+t\]
subtract t from both sides of the equation:
\[\large A-t=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }p\]
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
and what do you get?

Answer 3

would you get 2 (A-t) = 2p?

Answer 4

you rather get 2(A-t)=p

Answer 5

the left hand side has 1/2 p so if multiplied by 2, you would get p.

Answer 6

oh okay

Answer 7

yeah! what do i do next?

Answer 8

you are done you have solved for p (in other words you have made p the subject of the equation)

Answer 9

okay! so the answer is 2(A-t)?

Answer 10

or p= 2(A-t)

Answer 11

yes! you got it.

Answer 12

Thank you so much!

Answer 13

it could also be written like that...

Answer 14

you are welcome!....(:
