Question

determine whether the following statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. i solved a formula for one of its variables, so now i have a numerical value for that variable. choose the correct answer below. a. this statement does not make sense. solving a formula for a variable means rewriting the formula to decrease the difficulty of the problem. b. this statement does not make sense. solving a formula for a variable means rewriting the formula so that the variable is isolated on one side of the equation. c. this statement does not make sense. solving a formula for a variable means rewriting the formula so that the equation equals zero. d. this statement makes sense.

Explanation:

Solving a formula for a variable means isolating that variable on one - side of the equation using algebraic manipulations. It doesn't necessarily give a numerical value for the variable as there may be other variables in the resulting expression. We are just rewriting the formula in a more convenient form for that particular variable.

Answer:

B. This statement does not make sense. Solving a formula for a variable means rewriting the formula so that the variable is isolated on one side of the equation
