Changing The Subject of A Changing The Subject of A Formula Formula

This document provides examples of changing the subject of a formula by performing algebraic operations. It shows how to isolate different variables by multiplying, dividing, adding, subtracting, factorizing, taking square roots or squares of both sides of an equation. The goal is to make the desired variable the subject of the formula with the other variables and parameters grouped on one side.
