# Math Help - Another isolation problem

1. ## Another isolation problem

I need to isolate $Mdil$

The problem is $M dil *V dil= M conc * V conc$

The dil, conc are suppose to be under the capital letters.

I would imagine you need to divide V dil from the left side to get M dil alone
which leaves you with

$M dil=((M conc * V conc)/ (V dil))$

Is this right? These values are foreign to me so I doubt myself.

Thanks
Jason

Hi again,

It's correct (under the condition that $V_{dil}$ (look at the code to put letters under) doesn't equal 0).

It's just like dealing with numbers or letters.

$\frac ab=\frac cd \implies ad=bc$, etc... (with b,d $\neq 0$)

3. Cool deal!

Chemistry is new to me, so even though the math is right, the answer isn't familiar.
