Question

Solve R= as/a+5 for s

Answer 1

If the equation is R = a*s/a + 5:

R = a*s/a + 5           Given

R = s + 5                  Simplify the fraction

R - 5 = s                   Subtract 5 from each side

s = R - 5                   Symmetric Property

 

If the equation is R = a*s/(a - 5):

R = a*s/(a - 5)                  Given

R(a - 5) = a*s                   Multiply both sides by a - 5

R(a - 5)/a = s                    Divide each side by a

s = R(a - 5)/a                   Symmetric Property
