Use the addition and division properties of equility to rearrange the quotation.Q= RS -4 for the quantity of interest

1 answer

To rearrange the equation \( Q = RS - 4 \) for the quantity of interest, let's isolate \( R \).

  1. Add 4 to both sides to eliminate the constant on the right side: \[ Q + 4 = RS \]

  2. Divide both sides by \( S \) to solve for \( R \): \[ R = \frac{Q + 4}{S} \]

Now, the equation is rearranged to find \( R \) in terms of \( Q \) and \( S\): \[ R = \frac{Q + 4}{S} \]
