In summary, "Solving for an indicated variable" is a mathematical process that allows us to find the value of a specific variable in an equation. It is important because it helps us solve real-world problems and understand mathematical models. The steps involve isolating the indicated variable by performing inverse operations on both sides of the equation. Some common techniques include combining like terms and using the order of operations, while common mistakes to avoid include forgetting to perform operations on both sides and making calculation errors. It is crucial to double-check your work and always refer back to the original equation to ensure accuracy.

The Attempt at a Solution


I know both sides need to be squared... maybe divide t by 2∏
This is probably really easy but I've been studying all day and I'm just not seeing it.
