Problem of the Week 4

Directions: Solve the formula $$A=\frac{w+2v+3x}{Q}$$ for $v$. Divide your solution into two columns. The left column will contain your calculations. The right column will contain an explanation of each step. Use Examples 5 and 6 on p. 169 as as examples of what I expect.

Your first step will be to simply write down the formula. All subsequent steps must undo only one operation at a time. Each step will show either (A) an operation performed on both sides, or (B) a simplification made after performing an operation on both sides. (Again, use Examples 5 and 6 on p. 169 of the textbook as examples of what I expect.) Including the first step mentioned above, your solution should contain a total of 9 to 10 steps. Don't be shy about using multiple sheets of paper.
