Solve each of the following equations for the indicated variable.

  1. for

    Remember the strategies for solving algebraically.

    To undo multiplication by 3, divide each term by 3.

  2. for m 2

    To undo division by r2, multiply both sides by r2.

    To undo multiplication by Gm1 divide both sides by Gm1.

  3. for m

    (which is the same as dividing by 2), multiply both sides by 2.

    To undo multiplication by v2, divide both sides by v2.

  4. (x − 4)2 + (y − 1)2 = 10 for y

    To undo addition of (x − 4)2, subtract (x − 4)2 from both sides.

    To undo squaring, take the square root of both sides. (Remember ±.)

    To undo subtracting 1, add 1 to both sides. Remember to put it outside the radical sign.
