To transpose or rearrange a formula you may:

add or subtract the same quantity to or from both sides
multiply or divide both sides by the same quantity
square or square root both sides
Expand out brackets or simplify using BIDMAS

Example: if y = x + 8,

subtracting 8 yields

y − 8 = x + 8 − 8

y − 8 = x, thus changing the subject to X

To transpose or rearrange a formula you may:

add or subtract the same quantity to or from both sides
multiply or divide both sides by the same quantity

To rearrange any formula or equation, follow these easy steps:

1.Start by multiplying both sides by the denominator.

2. Cancel out the like terms on either side of equation.

3. Now expand out the brackets.

4. Then collect the like terms on one side and the given subject on same side.

5. Now you can factorise/solve using BIDMAS to get the answer in the given variable

Example: In part a)

1.Start by multiplying both sides by the denominator

for example if you have $V=\\frac{\\var{a}S}{S+ \\var{b}}$ then multiply both sides by $(S+ \\var{b})$

2.This gives: $V(S+ \\var{b})=\\frac{\\var{a}S}{S+ \\var{b}} (S+ \\var{b}) $

the $({ S+ \\var{b}})$ term on the right hand side cancels out to give: $V(S+ \\var{b})= \\var{a}S$

3. Now expand out the brackets: $VS+\\var{b}V= \\var{a}S$

4. Then collect the like terms, you want to get all the terms with S in them onto one side, so subtract VS from both sides:

$VS-VS+ \\var{b}V=\\var{a}S-VS$

This becomes $\\var{b}V=\\var{a}S-VS$

5. Now you can factorise the right hand side: $\\var{b}V=S(\\var{a}-V)$

6. Then divide both sides by $({\\var{a} -V})$ to leave S on its own: $\\frac{\\var{b}V}{\\var{a}-V}=S$
