Solve each literal equation for the indicated variable. Show all your work.
1. Solve for 'm': F = ma
2. Solve for 'h': A = (1/2)bh
3. Solve for 'r': C = 2πr
4. To solve P = 2l + 2w for 'w', the first step is to from both sides.
5. In the equation V = lwh, if we want to solve for 'l', we must both sides by .
6. Which of the following correctly solves the equation y = mx + b for 'x'?
a
x = (y - b) / m
b
x = y/m - b
c
x = my - b
d
x = (b - y) / m
7. For the equation I = Prt, what is 't' equal to when solved?
a
t = I - Pr
b
t = I / (Pr)
c
t = Pr / I
d
t = IPr
8. Solve for 'x': ax + by = c
9. Solve for 'y': A = P(1 + rt)
