p=1/r * s + d ; solve for s
A. s = r/p - d
B. s = p + d/r
C. s = r(p - d)
D. s = r(p + d)
I'm not sure on this one, but I'd go with B. Please help? Thanks
Anyway, this is how you solve:
p=1/r*s+d
p-d=1/r*s+d-d
r(p-d)=r(1/r)+s
r(p-d)=s
^ so i just subtracted d from both sides of the equation, so I could get rid of the d and isolate s. Then I multiplied by r on both sides of the equation to get rid of the r and isolate s.

To solve for s in the equation p = 1/r * s + d, we need to isolate s on one side of the equation.
Starting with the original equation:
p = 1/r * s + d
We want to get rid of the terms involving d and 1/r.
1. Begin by subtracting d from both sides of the equation to move it to the other side:
p - d = 1/r * s
2. Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by r to eliminate the 1/r term:
r(p - d) = s
Finally, we have isolated s on one side of the equation. Thus, the correct answer is:
C. s = r(p - d)
Option B is not correct because it incorrectly adds p and d together instead of subtracting them.
nope, if you subtract d from both sides, you know you will have a term p-d in it.
Okay, is it A then?
stop guessing and start working
1/r * s = s/r, so
p=s/r + d
p-d = s/r
Now what do you think?
