Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. All variables, including , are positive.
2. We are solving for in terms of the other variables.
3. The equation is a polynomial equation in terms of .
STEP 2
1. Isolate the term containing .
2. Solve for by taking the square root.
STEP 3
Start by isolating the term containing . We want to move all other terms to the opposite side of the equation. Add to both sides:
STEP 4
Now, solve for by dividing both sides by :
STEP 5
Finally, solve for by taking the square root of both sides. Since all variables are positive, we do not need to consider the negative root:
The solution for is:
