Assume the problem is:
z^2 * 3s = 54
Solve for both variables, z and s.
:
Solve for z
divide both sides by 3s
z^2 = 54%2F3s
reduce fraction
z^2 = 18%2Fs
Find the square of both sides
z = sqrt%2818%2Fx%29
Factor inside the radical to reveal a perfect square
z = sqrt%28%289%2A2%29%2Fx%29
Extract that square
z = 3%2Asqrt%282%2Fx%29
:
:
z^2 * 3s = 54
solve for s
divide both sides by 3z^2
s = 54%2F%283z%5E2%29%29
reduce the fraction
s = 18%2F%28z%5E2%29%29
