8th Grade - Formulas

Today we learned how to manipulate formulas to solve for an unknown variable. We also discussed changing the subject of a formula. The subject of a formula is a single term that appears only on the left-hand side of a formula. If we can manipulate the terms and rewrite the formula in terms of another variable, we are changing the subject of a formula.
