    MHB How should I interpret a formula without brackets?

    Hi all, I have a formula which i might have expected to have brackets, but it hasn't, so i need to correctly interpret it. Could anyone please offer any pointers as to how it should read? The formula is '1.2 . h - 0.2 . x' Can i assume that it should be '(1.2 . h) - (0.2 . x)'? Thanks Zamb

    MHB Rearranging Formulas: Finding W in Terms of M and L

    Aaah, think I've got it! So: \[ M = W (\frac{L^2}{4}−\frac{L^2}{8}) \] \[ M = W (\frac{L^2}{8}) \] \[ M / (\frac{L^2}{8}) = W \]Is that right? Looks right, thanks so much guys!

    Hi, I have a formula which I need to rearrange but it's been a while since I covered this at school, I've tried to read up and re-study but I keep getting confused about what I can/can't do to the various brackets. The formula is: M = (((W x L / 2) x (L / 2)) - ((W x L / 2) x (L / 4))) I'm...
