Solving problems and using formulas

Question

Solve the following formula for the specified variable.

P = K + hc for h

Answer 1

We must get h by itself to solve for it.

Step 1: Subtract K from Both Sides

P - K = hc

Step 2: Divide by c on Both Sides

(P-K)/c = h

Answer: h = (P-K)/c

Answer 2

Hello Titus. For the equation P = K + hc for h:

P = K + hc for h

First: subtract K from both sides ---> P - K = hc

Remember you're looking for h, so you need to isolate it. You do that by getting

rid of c. You get rid of c by DIVIDING on both sides by c:

(P-K)/c = hc/c

(P-K)/c = h ---> And there goes your answer

h = (P-K)/c
