Question 23691: Transforming Formulas
W = p(V - L)
Solve for V

W=p(V-L), solve for V

Remove parentheses:
W= pV-pL

Get the V terms all on one side, and all non-V terms on the other side by adding +pL to each side:
W+pL = pV-pL +pL
W+pL = pV

To solve for V, we need to undo the multiplication by p, so divide both sides by p.
W%2BpL+=+pV
%28W%2BpL%29%2Fp+=+%28pV%29%2Fp
%28W%2BpL%29%2Fp+=+V
