WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2016 (Objective)

Question 1 Report

Make s the subject of the relation: P = S + $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$

s = $\frac{mrp}{nr + m^2}$

s = $\frac{nr + m^2}{mrp}$

s = $\frac{nrp}{mr + m^2}$

s = $\frac{nrp}{nr + m^2}$

Answer Details

To make s the subject of the relation P = S + $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$, we need to isolate s on one side of the equation. First, we can start by moving the $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$ term to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides: P - $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$ = S Next, we can solve for s by multiplying both sides of the equation by $\frac{nr}{m^2}$: s = $\frac{nr}{m^2}$(P - $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$) Simplifying the right-hand side, we get: s = $\frac{nrp}{m^2}$ - $\frac{s}{m}$ To isolate s, we can add $\frac{s}{m}$ to both sides of the equation: s + $\frac{sm}{m^2}$ = $\frac{nrp}{m^2}$ Simplifying the left-hand side, we get: s($\frac{m + 1}{m^2}$) = $\frac{nrp}{m^2}$ Finally, we can solve for s by dividing both sides of the equation by $\frac{m+1}{m^2}$: s = $\frac{nrp}{nr + m^2}$ Therefore, the answer is s = $\frac{nrp}{nr + m^2}$.
