CHAPTER 7 : ALGEBRAIC FORMULAE

1.1 Changing the subject of a formula.

1. Given 2p – k = 5, express p in terms of k. 4. Given 3 – n = 2k, express n in terms of k.

2p – k = 5

2p = 5 + ( )

5+( )
p=
( )

p−5 2p − k
2. Given = 3q, express p in terms of q. 5. Given = 5, express k in terms
2 3

p – 5 = 3q x ( )

p–5=( )q

p=( )q+( )

3. Given p – k = 2m, express p in terms of k and m. m

6. Given – k = 3, express m in terms of k.
2

p – k = 2m

p = 2m + ( )

p = ( 2m + )
