Having difficulty working this out.

transpose the following formula such that T becomes the subject:

(square root symbol) 4T + S
V - 200
= q

not sure if I have typed that out right its quite hard without the right formatting :S

any help would be truly gratefull

Thanks

Paris

If this is the equation:

\frac {\sqrt{4T+S}}{V-200} = q

start by multiplying both sides by (V-200), and square both sides to get:

4T+S = (V-200)^2q^2

Then subtract S from both sides, and finally divide through by 4 to get:


T =\frac { (V-200)^2q^2 - S}{4}
