Okay, I am in 10th grade and in Algebra. The homework my teacher gave to our class was titled, "Solve for the indicated variable."
Question #1 asks: E=mc squared; for m.
I'm horrible at math, and I don't understand how to do this at all. :confused:

E=mc^2

You want to solve for m. That means you need to move the c^2 over to the other side (along with the E.) What should you do? Hint: The original equation is E = m times c^2. So, when an equation indicates times, what should you do to it?
