Section 3.8 solving equations and formulas (alg)
The document provides instructions for solving equations and formulas by working backwards. It lists 5 examples of equations and identifies the variable to solve for in each case. For each equation, it notes to look at the equation as having two terms and reads out the terms starting with the second term and working to the first term. This provides the steps for isolating the variable of interest when solving each type of equation.
