Question
Solve for the indicated variable in terms of the other variables.$A=2 a b+2 a c+2 b c$ for $a$ (surface area of a rectangular solid)
Step 1
In this case, we can factor out a 2 from each term: $A = 2(ab + ac + bc)$ Now, we want to solve for "a". To do this, we can divide both sides of the equation by the term in parentheses: Show more…
