Rearrange the formula to make \( a \) the subject:

\[ P = 3a + 2b^2 \]

Asked by Hydie

Answer (2)

The original equation provided is P=3a+2b^2. To make a the subject of the formula, we need to isolate a on one side of the equation. Here are the steps to do that:

Subtract 2b2 from both sides of the equation to get: P - 2b^2 = 3a.
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for a : (P - 2b^2)/3 = a.

Now, a is the subject of the formula, and it's given by a = (P - 2b^2)/3.

To make a the subject of the equation P = 3 a + 2 b 2 , subtract 2 b 2 from both sides to get P − 2 b 2 = 3 a , and then divide by 3 to isolate a , resulting in a = 3 P − 2 b 2 ​ .
