    Having trouble to transpose the below equation. It would be of great help if someone could transpose it for me showing each step.

    Q. Solve the following equation for m:

    0.0081 = 0.0092 - [2.1/(m x 2450)]

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Here's my shot at it:

    0.0081 = 0.0092 - [2.1/(m x 2450)]

    2.1 / (m x 2450) = 0.0092 - 0.0081

    2.1 / (m x 2450) = 0.0011

    2.1 / 2450 / 0 .0011 = m

    0.77922 = m

    Could anyone help with this:
    Solve for gc

    0.9 = (0.012-0.008)/(0.012 - gc)

    0.9 (0.012 - gc) = 0.012 -0.008 = 0.004

    0.012 - gc = 0.004/0.9 = 0.0044

    -gc = 0.0044 - 0.012

    gc = 0.012 - 0.0044

    gc = 0.0076

    .9 = (0.012-0.008)/(.012-gc)
    .9(.012-gc) = 4x10^-3
    .0108-.9gc = 4x10^-3
    -.9gc = -6.8x10^-3
    gc = 7.556x10-3 = 0.0076

    Edit: timbrophy got in there first:pac:
