Rearranging formulae
- Most formulae have one letter on its own on one side of the formula
- This letter is called the subject of the formula
- Changing the subject of a formula is like solving an equation
- You have to do the same thing to both sides of the formula until you have the new letter on its own on one side
- If the letter you need appears twice in the formula you need to factorise
- Group all the terms with that letter on one side of the formula and all the other terms on the other side
- Factorise so the letter only appears once
- Divide by everything in thr bracket to get the letter on its own
