Flowchart for rearranging harder formulae showing: choose the subject letter, undo operations from the outside in, and if the letter appears twice then collect terms, factorise and divide

Rearranging a formula means making one chosen letter the subject. All the other letters are treated like fixed numbers while you use the balance rule to isolate your variable.

For harder formulae, look at what is happening to the subject and undo those operations from the outside in. If the subject appears more than once, collect those terms together before you try to factorise and divide.
