Solution

Answer Key

1)  X = 1/(Y + Z -1)

2)  2x/(1 – x) = y

3)  a = b/(2c – b)

4)  3t/2 = ax

5) x + 2y = 7z/3

6)  2x + 10 = 4b

7)  2(a – 1)/a = 4t

8)  p/h = 5

9) t = -1 – 4r

10)  x2y = z2

11)  p = (4x + 1)/x2(x3 – x2)2

12)  m = (2x(x3 – 1/x) + 1/x2)/(x2 + 1)

13)  n = 1/(x((√x + 1)/(5x2 – 3) – x3))

14)  a = (5(c + 1)3 – c)/(b2 + 2)

15)  k = (7x2 + 3)/(2(x2 + 4 + y))

16)  x = (b - 3a - 3)/(a + 1)
