How do you solve the volume formula G = cd, for d?

Answer 1

See explanation.

To solve a formula for any variable you have to see what is next to the variable you want to solve the formula for.

Next you have to perform inverse operation:

If something is added to the variable - you have to subtract the value, if the variable is divided, then you have to multiply both sides by the value and so on.

In the given example #d# is multiplied by #c#, so you have to divide both sides by it:

From:

To solve the volume formula (G = cd) for (d), you divide both sides of the equation by (c). So, (d = \frac{G}{c}).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
