How would i re-write this formula:
F=Gm1m2/d^2 i need to solve for m1 G=gravitational constant m1and m2 are masses and d is distance
AND.......................How would i solve the formula for the product of the masses

F=(G)(m1)(m2)/d^2
assuming F, G, m1, m2, and d are your vaiables

to solve for G:

multiply each side with d^2
(F)*(d^2) = (G)*(m1)*(m2)

divide each side by (m1)*(m2), for clarity, I am going to call the product of m1 and m2, m. Therefore, (m1)*(m2) = m, so I will now divide eachside by m
(F)*(d^2)/(m) = G

To solve for the product of the two masses, m, mutiply each side by m.
(F)*(d^2) = (G)*(m)

then divide each side by G
(F)*(d^2)/(G) = m = m1 + m2

F = (G)(m1)(m2) / d^2
(F) (d^2) = (G) (m1) (m2)
(F) (d^2) = (G) (m2) (m1)
(F) (d^2) / (G) (m2) = m1

do you need an equation to solve for m1 x m2? i don't understand you second question very well...
