Given literal equation: p=8/7pij^3 Solve for j.

Question

How would i solve for j?

Answer 1

p = (8/7)πj³ ( I'm assuming pi stands for π)

To solve for j, you just need to isolate j to one side of the equal sign. No need to solve for a value of j, since p is still a variable of unknown value.

First divide both sides by (8/7)π which we can do since it is not zero.

p/((8/7)π) = j³

rewriting for clarity

j³ = (7/8)p/π

Now we just need to isolate j by taking the cube root of both sides of the equation:

j = ((7/8)p/π)^1/3



if pi is not π, but p and i, then that's a different problem.

Answer 2

Solving for j means getting j by itself, on one side of the equal sign.

Step one: Get rid of the fraction by cross multiplying. Leaving a single line.

7p = 8pij^3

Step two: is to divide the 8 and pi leaving j^3

(7p/8pi) = j^3

Step 3: the inverse of exponents are radicals.

I will leave this final step to you! Hope that’s helps. Let me know if you have any further questions!
