Need help with a maths question

[General_Thral]

ok im trying to rearrange:

y=w x r x 0.0333 + w

so that the subject is r but its been so long since i did maths i cant do it and i've been trying for a while now im a bit annoyed right now , has anyone got the time to teach me how to rearrange it?

[Sphere]

Its just order of operations

1.) Move w to the otherside

y-w = w x r x 0.0333

2.) Divide by w and the constant

(y-w) /(wx0.0333) = r

3.) flip it if you want to make it look more conventional

r = (y-w) /(wx0.0333)

Though I am not 100% sure if this is what you mean by the "subject". This is the form of making r the dependent, or in other words writing r in terms of y and w. You could also divide out the w in the denominator but that is not necissarily a simplier form, though it is more elegant in this case:

r = 30(y/w - 1)

Subtract w from both sides and then divide both sides by 0.0333w. Then r equals y-w divided by 0.333 w.

-w both sides

× 1/w

× 1/0.0333


Edit: Argh dammit, this doesn't support the insert equation function

In a way Agent Miles is *more* correct. Once you think in terms of you are doing, is to do to both sides equally, algebra becomes a lot easier.

math is so hard. btw what kind of math is that? Algebra?
