Hello,
Was wondering if anyone could give a little insight into the proper order of functions when rearranging the subject of more complex equations.
For example, I was trying to work out how to make k the subject of this equation:
5k = 7k/(12t) +8t ................................................edited to insert grouping symbols ()
So far I have subtracted 7k/12t from both sides to make sure I isolated the t on the right hand side.
I then multiplied both sides by 12t.
This got me to this stage:
60kt - 7k = 96 t2
I was guessing I would factor next?
Am I heading in the right direction with my working? Does anyone know a good rule of thumb for these type of equations and how best to go about solving them.
Thanks in advance.
