Question

WSJ
Solve for s in terms of P.
P=4s
s=

Answer 1

To solve for \( s \) in terms of \( P \) in the equation \( P = 4s \), you can follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation:
   \[ P = 4s \]

2. To isolate \( s \), divide both sides by 4:
   \[ s = \frac{P}{4} \]

So, the solution is:
\[ s = \frac{P}{4} \]
