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

1. Rearrange the formula for the area of a rectangle, A = lw, to solve for the width (w).

2. The formula for simple interest is I = Prt. Rearrange this formula to solve for the principal amount (P).

3. To solve V = lwh for h, the first step is to divide both sides by .

4. If F = ma, then a = .

5. Which of the following correctly rearranges the formula D = rt (distance = rate × time) to solve for time (t)?

t = D - r

t = D + r

t = D/r

t = r/D

6. The formula for the perimeter of a square is P = 4s. Rearrange this formula to solve for the side length (s).

7. Rearrange the formula for the circumference of a circle, C = 2πr, to solve for the radius (r).

8. The formula y = mx + b can be rearranged to solve for x as x = (y - b)/m.
