"Given an equation or formula in two or more variables, view it as an equation in a single variable of interest where the other variables are parameters, and solve for the variable of interest." "Solve a linear equation in one variable, making strategic use of algebraic structure." "Fluently solve a linear equation in one variable."

What you'll learn

Solve a formula or literal equation for a specified variable, treating every other letter as a number
Solve for a variable that appears in more than one term by collecting its terms and factoring it out
Divide by a symbolic coefficient and state the nonzero condition required
Decide whether rearranging first or substituting first is more efficient
