Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Rearrange the following equation to make S the subject.

$V=\frac{\var{a}S}{S+\var{b}}$

to write a fraction you type (numerator)/(denominator)

S=Unnamed gap

Advice

start by multiplying both sides by the denominator

for example if you have $V=\frac{5S}{S+12}$ then multiply both sides by $(S+12)$

this gives: $V(S+12)=\frac{5S}{S+12} (S+12)$

the (S+12) term on the right hand side cancels out to give: $V(S+12)=5S$

now expand out the brackets: $VS+12V=5S$

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:

$VS-VS+12V=5S-VS$

this becomes $12V=5S-VS$

now you can factorise the right hand side: $12V=S(5-V)$

then divide both sides by (5-V) to leave S on its own: $\frac{12V}{5-V}=S$

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
