Given the equation:
S = ½( u + v )t
Solve for u.
Solution:
In order to solve for u, we can multiply first both sides by 2, in order to cancel out ½.
S = ½ ( u + v ) t
(2) S = (2) ½ ( u + v ) t
2s = ( u + v ) t
Divide both sides by t in order to cancel out t on the other side of the equation.
2s/t = ((u + v)t)/t
2s/t = u + v
Transpose v to the other side of the equation in order to determine the value of u. Note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
u = 2s/t - v
Final answer:
u = 2s/t - v
