oops..i mean T

This is like basic algebra. All you have to do is get P on one side. So..
Pv=nRT --> Pv/v=nRT/v (divide v on both sides, this way the v on the left side cancels out) now the new equation is..
P=nRt/v
I saw on the bottom u meant T..
Just do the exact same thing I said above to solve for T
Pv=nRT -->Pv/nR = nRT/nR (divide both sides by nR so T is by it self on the right side)
T=Pv/nR

PV=nRT just divide each side by V giving
PV/V=nRT/V which can also be written as
P(V/V)=nRT/V
V/V is one leaving
P=nRT/V
Just got your OOPS
OK so now I'll show you for T.
PV=nRT this time we divide each side by nR giving
(PV)/(nR)=[(nR)T)]/(nR), the parenthesis’ are only to make things a little clearer they are NOT necessary.
The nR/nR on the right side is equal to one just as the V/V did before.
Leaving
PV/nR=T which is the same as
T=PV/nR
Now I’ll post again and find
OOPS I meant R
I not hope not!!!

Divide both sides by nR
PV/nR = T
(is answer to amended oops question!)
