well all we have to do is sove for the variable indicated...but i really don't understand how to solve for the variables..lol, just basic high school physics. maybe I'm thinking too hard, but i seriosly need some help guys :( i solved a few of them, but idk if they're right, lolol :P i'd really appreciate it if you could also show your work! haha

Have you studied algebra yet? All you are asked to do is manipulate the given equation to solve for the indicated variable. You don't need to know what the equation is for.

Dear student,

Algebraic manipulation of variables is a fundamental skill in mathematics and science. It involves using various mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to manipulate equations and solve for unknown variables.

In order to solve for a variable, you must isolate it on one side of the equation by performing inverse operations. For example, if you have the equation 2x + 5 = 15, you can solve for x by first subtracting 5 from both sides to get 2x = 10. Then, you can divide both sides by 2 to get x = 5.

In the provided link, you will find a worksheet with various algebraic manipulation problems. The key to solving these problems is to carefully follow the order of operations and perform inverse operations to isolate the variable.

It is important to show your work when solving these problems so that you can check your answer and identify any mistakes you may have made. If you are having trouble with a specific problem, please provide the specific equation and your attempted solution so that I can assist you further.

I hope this helps and good luck with your homework!
