To isolate \( Q \) from the equation \( Q = RS - T \) using the addition and division properties of equality, we can rearrange it for \( RS \):
Starting with the original equation:
- To isolate \( RS \): \[ Q = RS - T \] Add \( T \) to both sides: \[ Q + T = RS \]
So, \( RS \) can be expressed as: \[ RS = Q + T \]
If you’re looking to isolate \( R \) or \( S \), you would need further steps based on what you want to solve for. For example, if you wanted to isolate \( R \), you might do the following:
- To isolate \( R \): If you express \( S \) in terms of \( Q \), \( R\), and \( T \): \[ R = \frac{Q + T}{S} \]
Or if you want to isolate \( S \): 3. To isolate \( S \): \[ S = \frac{Q + T}{R} \]
Please clarify if you intended to isolate a different variable or if you need further assistance!
