Show us what you tried. Forum rules say that you must show an effort. The algebra is pretty straightforward.

Sorry for that. I got stuck on something completely ridiculous. Here's my attempt and solution:

Please delete this thread, or maybe leave it as a reminder of how some people (me) need to try a little bit more when lost and/or take a break for a while, but not freak out.

Thanks

We don't normally delete threads after they're posted, for exactly the reason you give.
 

FAQ: Transforming Equation A to B: Step-by-Step Guide for Solving Class Notes Problem

How do I identify the variables in the equation?

The first step in transforming an equation is to identify the variables present. These are typically represented by letters, such as x, y, or z. Look for letters that are not constants or coefficients.

What is the goal of transforming an equation?

The goal of transforming an equation is to isolate the variable you are solving for on one side of the equation. This will allow you to solve for the variable and find its numerical value.

How do I know which operation to use when transforming an equation?

The operation you use when transforming an equation depends on the operation currently being applied to the variable. For example, if the variable is being multiplied by a number, you will use division to cancel out the multiplication and isolate the variable.

Can I use the same operation on both sides of the equation?

Yes, you can use the same operation on both sides of the equation as long as it is done in a balanced manner. For example, if you add 3 to one side of the equation, you must also add 3 to the other side.

What should I do if I end up with a variable on both sides of the equation after transforming it?

If you have a variable on both sides of the equation, you can combine like terms to simplify the equation. Then, choose an operation that will eliminate one of the variables and continue transforming the equation until you have isolated the variable you are solving for.
