Use the addition and division properties of equality to rearrange the equation Q=RS-T for the quantity of interest S.

1 answer

To rearrange the equation \( Q = RS - T \) to solve for \( S \), we can use the addition and division properties of equality. Here are the steps:

  1. Add \( T \) to both sides to isolate the term with \( S \) on one side: \[ Q + T = RS \]

  2. Divide both sides by \( R \) (assuming \( R \neq 0 \)) to solve for \( S \): \[ S = \frac{Q + T}{R} \]

So, the rearranged equation for \( S \) is: \[ S = \frac{Q + T}{R} \]
