Math Problem Statement

s = 2d / t, solve for d

Solution

The equation provided in the image is:

s=2dts = \frac{2d}{t}

We are asked to solve for dd.

To do that, let's isolate dd step by step:

  1. Multiply both sides of the equation by tt to get rid of the denominator: st=2ds \cdot t = 2d

  2. Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for dd: d=st2d = \frac{s \cdot t}{2}

Thus, the solution is:

d=st2d = \frac{s \cdot t}{2}

Would you like more details on any step or additional questions?

Here are five related questions:

  1. If s=5s = 5 and t=4t = 4, what is the value of dd?
  2. How would the equation change if the expression was s=3dts = \frac{3d}{t}?
  3. Can you solve for tt in terms of ss and dd?
  4. What is the physical interpretation of ss, tt, and dd if this represents a motion equation?
  5. How does changing tt affect the value of dd if ss is constant?

Tip: When solving for a variable, remember to always perform inverse operations to isolate the variable step by step.
