Hello,

I understand that you are looking for a guide to solve the problem shown in the attached screenshot. This equation is known as the Ideal Gas Law, which relates the pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas. Here is a step-by-step guide to solving this equation:

1. Identify the variables: The variables in this equation are P1 (initial pressure), V1 (initial volume), T1 (initial temperature), P2 (final pressure), V2 (final volume), and T2 (final temperature). Make sure you have all the values for these variables before proceeding.

2. Rearrange the equation: The ideal gas law can be rearranged to solve for any of the variables. In this case, we are solving for P2. Therefore, the equation becomes P2 = (P1V1T2)/(V2T1).

3. Plug in the values: Now, substitute the values you have for the variables into the equation. Make sure to use the correct units for each variable (e.g. pressure in atmospheres, volume in liters, temperature in Kelvin).

4. Solve the equation: Use basic algebraic principles to solve for P2. This may involve multiplying or dividing both sides of the equation by a certain value, or combining like terms.

5. Check your answer: It's always a good idea to double-check your answer to make sure it makes sense. For example, if you are solving for pressure, the unit of your answer should be in atmospheres. If it is not, then you may have made a mistake in your calculations.

I hope this guide helps you solve the problem. If you are still having trouble, feel free to reach out for further assistance. Good luck!
