Solve me for a different letter please. Let's do the "Algebra Rearrange Funk Dance."

Often it is convenient to rearrange a given polynomial formula. All it takes is a bit of algebra "know-how".

For example:
Remember that the area of a rectangle equals length times width (A = LW).

However, maybe you are in a situation where you know the area and the width, but you need to find the length. Like when you buy a can of floor paint, and it says it will cover 250 square feet of floor. If you know the floor is 10 feet wide, how long a room can you cover with one can?

Well, if A = LW, and we want to find the LENGTH, we just divide both sides of the formula by W.

Now you try some:

1. Rearrange the distance formula, distance equals rate times time, (D = RT), so that it will find the time, "T".

2. Rearrange Einstein's Theory of Relativity formula: E = mc^2, to solve for the mass "m".

3. Now for the ultimate challenge, rearrange the Celsius to Fahrenheit temperature formula,

Did you get this?

Remember, it doesn't matter if the T is on the left side or the right side of the formula.
