Algebra Formula Formation

Algebra Formula Formation:


Formula formation we use alphabets like x, y, z etc., to denote variables.

For example the length of a rectangle is denoted by 'l'. It takes different values in different rectangles.

A formula is a relation between different variables formed using mathematical symbols. Any given condition can be translated into a formula using variables and mathematical symbols.

Volume of a cuboid is the product of length, breadth and height.

This is written as V = l x b x h.

We say that this is the formula for the volume of the cuboid.

Formula

A formula is formed by using:
(a) mathematical symbols and variables (b) given conditions, and (c) simplification.

Change of subject of formula:

In the formula I is called the subject of the formula.

To make 'P' the subject of the formula:
P x T x R = 100 x I

Algebra Mixture Problems:

Mixture problems are the types of words problems where the values of different quantities are mixed. The procedure to solve the mixture problem is shown with an example.
