t = √(4x²/(m-3)) , make x the subject

1.You see a square root on the right side. So square both sides of the equation to get rid of the square root first.

t² = (√(4x²/(m-3)))²

t² = 4x²/(m-3)

2. There is a (m-3) in the denominator on the right side. Multiply both sides by (m-3) to get rid of it on the right side.


t²(m-3) = 4x²/(m-3) x (m-3)

t²(m-3) = 4x²


3. There is a 4 on the right side. Divide both sides by 4 to get rid of it.


t²(m-3)/4 = 4x²/4

t²(m-3)/4 = x²


4. Square root both sides of the equation to get rid of the ² on the right side.


± √((t²(m-3))/4) = x

There is a ± because the both the positive form and negative form can give you back x² when they are squared

Now reexpress the square root.

√t²√(m-3) / √4 = x

x = t√(m-3) / 2

x = ½ t √(m - 3)
