Can you post your step by step and explain please since I have to it too just want to confirm.

it's not h- t its just t = and the rest is fine. Yes.

the whole part of 1/3PIh is the denominator.

The 1/3 is a fraction in itself.

After going through the questions again, I have different answers for some.

I am confused for question 2.

If I refine the right side of the equation instead of moving the 1/4 over to the left I divide the whole right side by 4. Since times by 1/4 is the same as dividing by 4.
That makes it t= (Sqrt 5a/h) / 4
Square both sides- t^2 = 5a/16h
Times by 16h = 16t^2h = 5a
Divide by 16 = t^2h = 5a/16
Divide by t^2 = h = 5a/16t^2
...
So I get h= 5a / 16t^2 for my answer instead of h= 5a/4t^2 from earlier when I move the 1/4 over to the left.

Also, I now get
QUESTION 3) T = Sqrt 3V / PIh

Since I times V by 3 instead of keeping 1/3 as a fraction.

I hope that makes sense.

Hi;

I will provide one possible solver with this warning:

Algebra is the backbone of math. Learning its manipulations and tricks is mandatory. If you become too dependent on software in the early stages of your training you will have problems later on. It is best to learn how to do it by hand first and only then when you are a hardnosed imbecile like me should you learn of the existence of these things.

In the early eighties when the first microcomputers came out, I saw that as an opportunity to do probability problems without knowing much math. This naive opinion led me to buy a TRS-80 model 3. I quickly learned Basic and Assembly language and began to do probability problems using them. I got lots of answers and soon was dominating my profession using those answers. But there were other problems...Problems I could not solve because they took too long. Pretty soon, I was asking how to speed my simulations up. This led right back to Probability, Calculus, Combinatorics, Numerical Analysis and of course more Algebra. So I learned this important lesson, to effectively use a computer one has to know lots of math.

May I see how you did the first one, step by step?

1) F-   C=5(F-32) / 9


The provided link cannot give me an answer for question 3? Unsure why.

My step by step for question 1 is:
C=5(F-32) / 9

x9 (To get rid of the /9)

C9 = 5(F-32)

/5 (To get rid of the multiplication)

C9/5 = F-32

+32 (To get rid of the -32)

(C9/5) + 32 = F

Flip it around, F= (C9/5) +32


Thanks.
