Many equations are quite easy to rearrange. If an equation only has one incidence of x and we have to make x the subject then there is usually not much difficulty.
Example:
Make x the subject of the equation![]()
![]()
Make x the subject of![]()
![]()
Notice above that by was moved as a single term.
Some equations are more difficult to rearrange. For example,![]()
![]()
If we are trying to make
the subject and there is more than one incidence of
, then we have to group all the
's together.
Make
the subject of the formula![]()
![]()
Make p the subject of![]()
![]()
