pv=(g/m)rt
then I have to solve for
r=
m=
g/v=
please help I'm lost :( :confused:

here's a secret:
Whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side.
So let's rearrange in terms of r:
pv=\frac{grt}{m}
we need to move the g, the t and the m over, let's move the g first. So we see that g is on the top, so we need to add a g on the bottom. divide both sides by g:
\frac{pv}{g}=\frac{grt}{gm}
now we do the same with the t. divide both sides by t:
\frac{pv}{gt}=\frac{grt}{gmt}
now we need to move the m, we see it's on the bottom so we need to multiply both sides by m:
\frac{pvm}{gt}=\frac{grtm}{gmt}
now we simplify:
\frac{pvm}{gt}=\frac{g}{g}\frac{t}{t}\frac{m}{m}r= r
r=\frac{pvm}{gt}
does that make sense?
can you do the rest? I'm happy to check them for you :)
