This equation is the universal gas law, if you are interested :-)
To solve for T, you need to divide each side of the equation by what is multiplying T, namely, nR. This is a legal operation since you are doing it to both sides of the equation... hence the equality is maintained.
PV%2F%28nR%29=nRT%2F%28nR%29
You can cancel the nR terms on the right side of the equation, giving you:
PV%2F%28nR%29=T
Rewriting it, you get:
highlight%28T=PV%2F%28nR%29%29
Good Luck,
