Make A the subject of the formula
\n" ); document.write( "Assume the equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=%28n%5E2%2Ba%29%2F%28n%2Ba%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by (n+a)
\n" ); document.write( "P(n + a) = n^2 + a
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the P
\n" ); document.write( "Pn + Pa = n^2 + a
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract Pn from both sides, subtract a from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "Pa - a = n^2 - Pn
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out a
\n" ); document.write( "a(P - 1) = n^2 - Pn
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by (P-1)
\n" ); document.write( "a = \"%28n%5E2+-+Pn%29%2F%28P+-+1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
