3. P=(1.2w)/h^2, find h.
Multiply both sides by h^2
h^2*P = 1.2w
Divide both sides by P
h^2 = (1.2w)/P
Take the positive root of both sides...since h is a positive quantity
h =√[1.2w/P]
4. 9/10g=7+2/3k, find k
Multiply both sides by the LCM of 3 and 10, i.e., 30
27g = 210 + 20k
Subtract 210 from both sides
27g - 210 = 20k
Divide both sides by 20
[27g - 210 ]/ 20 = g
5. 2-3/4p=5/6r+5, find r.
Multiply through by the LCM of 4 and 6, i.e., 12
24 - 9p = 10r + 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
24 - 9p - 60 = 10r
Divide both sides by 10
[24 - 9p - 60 ] / 10 = r
Notice that the trick of multiplying through by the LCM first allows us to get rid of those nasty fractions in our work !!!
