First of all, you can use the ^ symbol to denote exponents. It is on the number 6 key of your keyboard. For example 3 squared would be written as 3^2.

So your equation is...

a = 4b^2x

Well since everything is multiplying the x, except for the a on the other side, simply divide by everything but the x.

a/(4b^2) = (4b^2x)/4b^2

Since 4b^2 divided by itself is 1, and 1*x =x

a/(4b^2) = x

Hope that helped

The equation reads "resolve for x in terms of a and b". What this suggests is that we would like x on one area of the equation, and a and b on the different, alongside with any coefficients. Now, rewrite the equation slightly in yet another way: a = 4b^2x. the way its initially written, devoid of parentheses, potential it rather is the way it would examine. in basic terms b is "squared", no longer 4b. ok, are you able to work out the place to circulate? you want "x" remoted, so use your arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /). undergo in recommendations what you do to a minimum of one area of the equation you ought to do to the different (look at dividing "/" the two components by utilizing 4). save going you're very almost there. The final steps are staring you interior the face (smile)!

To get "X" on one side of the equation by itself, just divide both sides by 4b squared, so X = a/4b squared.

not very clear but is this what u meant A = 4B^ x^2 ?
^ = to the Power of.

A = 4B^ x^2

B^ X^2 = A/4

Ln( B^ X^2) = Ln(A/4)

X^2 ln(B) = ln(a/4)

X^2 = [ln(a/4)] / [ln(B)]

X^2 = ln [ (A/4) / B ]

X^2 = ln [ A/4B ]

X = Square root { ln [ A/4B] }


--------OR-------------------

A = 4 B^2 X

A / [ 4 B^2] = [4 B^2 X] / [ 4 B^2 ]

A / [ 4 B^2] = X

X = A / [ 4 B^2]
