Isolating Variables, continued

Let’s practice isolating variables in equations. div>

Isolate the variables in the following equations.

		x = 5
		a = 2

y  =  13

The easiest way to solve this equation is first to simplify the expression on the left.

Next, you may flip the numerator and denominator on both sides (since , this is easy).

Then solve the equation for y by isolating the variable.
