Question 113534: I am having trouble working out this equation.
a= Q/(C(√64.4*e))-(√(a/π))
I want to solve for "a" but cannot figure out how to get the "a" in the right side of the equation to the left and in a form that is a= "answer".
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely, HosellaB.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let z= Q/(C(√64.4*e)) ___ let x^2=a ___ let k=1/sqrt(pi) ___ x^2=z-kx

x^2+kx-z=0 ___ use quadratic formula to find x and then x^2
