Literal Equations (B) - Rewriting to Solve for a Variable WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: Algebra I, IM 1
CCSS: HSA.CED.A.4
CCSS Description: Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. For example, rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R.

Literal Equations (B) - Rewriting to Solve for a Variable WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet focuses on rearranging formulae and equations under the theme of y = mx + b. This is an essential skill needed in order to draw straight line graphs, identify the gradient and y intercepts of equations, and find perpendicular and parallel lines from equations that need rearranging first.

In section A, the coefficient of y is always 1 or -1. Next, equations include y terms with coefficients other than 1 or -1 (but still integers), in sections B and C. The sections get progressively more difficult throughout, and section D consists of fractional coefficients of y.

Rearranging equations confidently will also improve students' ability to solve a variety of linear equations and aid all of their algebra work.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
