1. ## Properties of real numbers alg II solving equations

I have class tomorrow and I have been stuck on this homework for three days. My teacher wont let us take our books home, so we just take some not so helpful not so helpful notes. Ne way I need help on this problem h=vt-5t^2 and i dont even know where to begin

um, where's the problem statement?

3. h=vt-5t^2 solve for v

you should look up transposing formulas or how to solve algebraic equations. do you have a textbook? the internet is a good place to start as well. even here. there are threads where the following steps are fleshed out more on this forum

$h = vt - 5t^2$ ..........we want to get $v$ by itself, so add $5t^2$ to both sides

$\Rightarrow h + 5t^2 = vt$ .............now divide by $t$ (provided $t \ne 0$)

$\Rightarrow \frac {h + 5t^2}{t} = v$

done

5. omgsh thanks so much i get it now
