In order to solve the literal equation A equals s squared for s, what would you do to the equation?

Divide both sides by s.

Subtract s squared from both sides.

Take the square root of both sides.

Square both sides.

Answer 1

C

Answer 2

I can teach you if you don't mind

Answer 3

How do you get it?

Answer 4

do you want to know why am I taking a square root of n=both sides?

Answer 5

Look you have

they are asking to solve for s,

Answer 6

what do you think they want you to do?

Answer 7

any ideas?

Answer 8

I'll give you another example similar to this.

Answer 9

d=x^2-2
solve for x

you want to set the equation equal to x.

add 2 to both sides
d=x^2-2
d+2=x^2-2+2
d-2=x^2

take square root of both sides
√(d+2)=√(x^2)
so the answer would be
√(d+2)=x

get it @Hannnnah?

can you do you example, you don't even need to subtract anything there, just take a square root of both sides.

Answer 10

d+2=x^2-2+2
d+2=x^2 ( wrote -)

take square root of both sides

Answer 11

A=s^2 (just recalling)

Answer 12

solve for s. (set it to s=....

Answer 13

I get it now thanks, and sorry I was on the phone with a teacher, but thanks for helping

Answer 14

Hannnnah, it OK! I was replying to 3 other questions, so it's OK!
As long as you get it.......
