- Solve a formula for a specific
Later in this class, and in future algebra classes, you’ll encounter equations that relate two variables, usually
x and
y . You might be given an equation that is solved for
y and need to solve it for
x , or vice versa. In the following example, we’re given an equation with both
x and
y on the same side and we’ll solve it for
y .
In Examples 1.60 through 1.64 we used the numbers in part
ⓐ as a guide to solving in general in part
ⓑ . Now we will solve a formula in general without using numbers as a guide.
Key concepts
-
To Solve an Application (with a formula)
-
Read the problem. Make sure all the words and ideas are understood.
-
Identify what we are looking for.
-
Name what we are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity.
-
Translate into an equation. Write the appropriate formula for the situation. Substitute in the given information.
-
Solve the equation using good algebra techniques.
-
Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.
-
Answer the question with a complete sentence.
-
Distance, Rate and Time
For an object moving at a uniform (constant) rate, the distance traveled, the elapsed time, and the rate are related by the formula:
where
d = distance,
r = rate,
t = time.
-
To solve a formula for a specific variable means to get that variable by itself with a coefficient of 1 on one side of the equation and all other variables and constants on the other side.
Practice makes perfect
Use the Distance, Rate, and Time Formula
In the following exercises, solve.

because it helps many people around the world to understand how to interact with other people and understand them well, for example at work (job).
Agreed 👍 There are many parts of our brains and behaviors, we really need to get to know. Blessings for everyone and happy Sunday!

A child is a member of community not society elucidate ?
Isn't practices worldwide, be it psychology, be it science. isn't much just a false belief of control over something the mind cannot truly comprehend?
compare and contrast skinner's perspective on personality development on freud
Skinner skipped the whole unconscious phenomenon and rather emphasized on classical conditioning

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
and having a good philosophy of the world is like a sandwich and a peanut butter 👍

child interact with other kids under doc supervision.
play therapy.
speech therapy.
Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game.

results you'll get..
please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child.
and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid.
