hi guys, quick question, im busy with differential equations. My question is, if i have dx/dt=2x/t, how could i manipulate this equation so that i get 2x, thats in the numerator, across the equal sign. i need to have x one side and t on the opposite side. Silly question but a little help would be much appreciated. BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE:D

its a diffrential equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tr to move all like terms to one side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t(dx/dt)=2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you will have t/dt=2x/dx

lol thanks, i got that much yes. my problem is, its a little algebra problem, how do i get something out the numerator. like if it were in the denominator, i'd multiply both sides by what ever is in the denominator. here the variable sits in the numerator??

OOOh okay cool. thanks so much;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you can take the integral of both sides
