SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on rearranging the equation V = (J/2 + 4a/3) / L to isolate J as the subject. The user seeks assistance in manipulating the equation correctly. The suggested steps include multiplying both sides by L, subtracting 4a/3 from both sides, and then multiplying by 2 to solve for J. These steps are essential for transforming the equation effectively.

SO here is the problem

I am wondering how to make J the subject ?

I have tried making J/2 and 4a/3 into a single fraction but so far nothing.I am doing something wrong somewhere.


Any suggestions ?

Here it is so I can see it better:
[tex]V = \frac{\frac{J}{2} + \frac{4a}{3}}{L}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by L.
Subtract 4a/3 from both sides.
Multiply both sides by 2.
