How do you solve for each variable in q = mc (delta T)?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

To solve for a variable, it needs to be by itself on one side of the equals sign, so q is already solved for.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

To solve for m, we need to move the c(deltaT) to the other side. Any ideas how to do that?

OpenStudy (kingdomkey):

Subtract it on both sides?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Good try, but you would subtract if it was currently added to m.

When you have multiplication, you move variables using division.|dw:1431978507140:dw|
