Hey Nmk, good to see you again.
Here are the solutions for problems 1-8:
1) Given formula: y=x+8. Make x the subject.
Step 1: Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.
y−8=x+8−8
y−8=x
Step 2: Rewrite with x on the left side.
x=y−8
The subject is x=y−8.
2) Given formula: y=x−3. Make x the subject.
Step 1: Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
y+3=x−3+3
y+3=x
Step 2: Rewrite with x on the left side.
x=y+3
The subject is x=y+3.
3) Given formula: b=a+c. Make a and c the subject.
a) Make a the subject:
Step 1: Subtract c from both sides of the equation.
b−c=a+c−c
b−c=a
Step 2: Rewrite with a on the left side.
a=b−c
The subject is a=b−c.
b) Make c the subject:
Step 1: Subtract a from both sides of the equation.
b−a=a+c−a
b−a=c
Step 2: Rewrite with c on the left side.
c=b−a
The subject is c=b−a.
4) Given formula: y=3x. Make x the subject.
Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by 3.
3y=33x
3y=x
Step 2: Rewrite with x on the left side.
x=3y
The subject is x=3y.
5) Given formula: y=4x. Make x the subject.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
y×4=4x×4
4y=x
Step 2: Rewrite with x on the left side.
x=4y
The subject is x=4y.
6) Given formula: b=ac. Make a and c the subject.
a) Make a the subject:
Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by c.
cb=cac
cb=a
Step 2: Rewrite with a on the left side.
a=cb
The subject is a=cb.
b) Make c the subject:
Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by a.
ab=aac
ab=c
Step 2: Rewrite with c on the left side.
c=ab
The subject is c=ab.
7) Given formula: n=5ax. Make a and x the subject.
a) Make a the subject:
Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by 5x.
5xn=5x5ax
5xn=a
Step 2: Rewrite with a on the left side.
a=5xn
The subject is a=5xn.
b) Make x the subject:
Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by 5a.
5an=5a5ax
5an=x
Step 2: Rewrite with x on the left side.
x=5an
The subject is x=5an.
8) Given formula: yx=9. Make x the subject.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
yx×y=9×y
x=9y
The subject is x=9y.
