Converting an algebraic expression into dependent variables of a single variable

Here is an algebra question where in a given algebraic expression like terms are on one side and unlike term on another side, this problem is all about making into different subject.

Topic : Making into different subject

This example would clearly explain what making into different subject exactly mean.

Problem : Let f = uv / (u + v) Make “v” as the subject

Solution :


f = uv / (u + v)
Multiplying by (u + v) on either sides of the equation
f (u + v) = uv
fu + fv = uv
Subtract fv on both the sides
fu = uv – fv
fu = v(u – f)
fu / (u – f) = v

Hope the meaning on coverting to different subject is well understood by above example, for more algebra questions like this contact algebra help.
