Read each question carefully and rearrange the given equations to solve for the specified variable. Show all your work.

1. Rearrange the equation 5x + y = 10 to solve for y.

2. Rearrange the equation A = lw to solve for w.

3. To solve the equation 2a - b = c for 'a', the first step is to to both sides of the equation.

4. If you have the equation P = 2l + 2w and you want to solve for 'l', you would first subtract from both sides.

5. Which of the following correctly rearranges the equation y = mx + b to solve for x?

x = y - b / m

x = (y - b) / m

x = m(y - b)

x = y / m - b

6. Rearrange the formula for the area of a trapezoid, A = 1/2(a + b)h, to solve for h.

7. Rearrange the equation V = (1/3)πr²h to solve for r².

8. To solve 3(x + 2) = y for x, the first step is to subtract 2 from both sides.
