Could someone please write the steps in rearranging this ..I just can't get it
mg+ma-Mg=-Ma
becomes
a=(M-m/M+m)g
Sorry it's so basic
Thanks
mg+ma-Mg=-Ma
becomes
a=(M-m/M+m)g

Thanks

Rearranging an equation involves moving terms from one side of the equation to the other in order to isolate the variable you are solving for. This can be done by using inverse operations, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing both sides of the equation by the same value.
The first step is to identify the variable you want to solve for. Then, use inverse operations to move all other terms to the opposite side of the equation. Continue simplifying the equation until the variable is isolated on one side and all other terms are on the other side. Finally, check your answer by plugging it back into the original equation.
If you have successfully rearranged the equation, the variable you are solving for should be isolated on one side of the equation, and all other terms should be on the other side. Your answer should also make the equation true when plugged back in.
Yes, you can rearrange any type of equation as long as it follows the rules of algebra. This includes equations with one or more variables, as well as equations with exponents, fractions, and radicals.
Rearranging equations is a fundamental skill in mathematics and science. It allows us to solve for unknown quantities and make predictions based on mathematical models. It is also essential in problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
