Question

select the answer that best completes the given statement. solving a formula for a variable means rewriting the formula so that the variable is isolated on one side. eliminated. with coefficient 1.

Explanation:

When solving a formula for a variable, the goal is to get the variable by itself (isolated) on one side of the equation. Eliminating the variable would mean getting rid of it completely, which is not the purpose. Having a coefficient of 1 is part of the isolation process (e.g., if you have \(2x = 4\), you divide by 2 to get \(x = 2\), where \(x\) is isolated with a coefficient of 1), but the over - arching concept is isolation.

Answer:

isolated on one side.
