Help identify the type of problem this is?

[mok4200@yahoo.com]

Hi,

I'm studying for my math test on Friday, and on the review is a question i have never come across, what type of problem is this?

W = ht² for h

The answer guide say this is what the result is..

\(\displaystyle \Huge{h\, =\, \dfrac{W}{t^2}}\, \). . .\(\displaystyle \Huge{x\, =\, 1.76}\)

Anyone have any idea on the name of this type of problem, and possibly be able to walk me through how to solve it?

Your links to "tinypic" don't resolve. Please reply with the typed-out text of the exercise and its solution. Thank you!

You have

"\(\displaystyle W= ht^2\) for for h"

You are missing the word "solve". I would be inclined to suspect that this is one of a listing of problems with the word "Solve" at the top so applying to all of them. You need to get h alone. Now h is not alone because it is multiplied by \(\displaystyle t^2\). What do you need to do to "undo" multiplying by \(\displaystyle t^2\).
