\"w=p%28v%5B2%5D-v%5B1%5D%29\" Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2Fp=v%5B2%5D-v%5B1%5D\" Divide both sides by p\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2Fp-v%5B2%5D=-v%5B1%5D\" Subtract \"v%5B2%5D\" from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-1%28w%2Fp-v%5B2%5D%29=-1%28-v%5B1%5D%29\" Multiply both sides by -1 to isolate \"v%5B1%5D\". Doing this will remove the negative from \"v%5B1%5D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-w%2Fp%2Bv%5B2%5D=v%5B1%5D\" Distribute and multiply \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So our answer is \"v%5B1%5D=-w%2Fp%2Bv%5B2%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
