Manipulating Variables in equations • Often in an equation we want to isolate some variable, usually the unknown • From math: what ever you do to one side of an equation you have to do to the other side • Doing this keeps both sides the same • E.g. x + 5 = 7, what does x equal? • We subtract 5 from both sides … • x + 5 – 5 = 7 – 5, thus x = 2 • Alternatively, we can represent this as 5 moving to the other side of the equals sign … • x + 5 = 7 becomes x = 7 – 5 or x = 2 • Thus, for addition or subtraction, when you change sides you change signs
Multiplication and division • We can do a similar operation with multiplication and division • E.g. 5x = 7, what does x equal? • We divide each side by 5 (to isolate x) … • 5x/5 = 7/5 … x = 7/5 … x = 1.4 • Alternatively, we can represent this as 5 moving to the other side of the equals sign … • 5x = 7 becomes x = 7/5 • Thus, for multiplication and division, when you change sides you change position (top to bottom, bottom to top)
(x) (y) 7a = 5 b (x) (y) 7a = 5 b (x)(y)(b) 7a = 5 (x)(y)(b) (x)(y)(b) = a a = (35) (5)(7) Multiplication and division • Let’s look at a more complicated example: • Isolate a in the equation: • Move b to the other side (from bottom to top) • Move 7 to the other side (from top to bottom) or
(x) (y) 7a = 5 b (x) (y) 7a = 5 b 35a (b)(x)(y) 7a b = = xy 5 P1V1 P2V2 T1 T2 = Multiplication and division • This time, isolate b in the equation: • Move b to the other side (it must be on top) … • Move everything to the other side of b Q - Rearrange the following equation to isolate each variable (you should have 6 equations)

The only unit that MUST be used is K for temperature.
