Question

formulas can be manipulated through the process of solving literal equations.

1. solve for h: a = bh (area of a parallelogram)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate h

Divide both sides by b.
$A = bh\Rightarrow\frac{A}{b}=\frac{bh}{b}$

Step2: Simplify

Cancel out b on the right - hand side.
$\frac{A}{b}=h$

Answer:

$h=\frac{A}{b}$
