Flowchart showing m = n + kp with forward operations multiply by p and add n, and reverse operations subtract n and divide by p to isolate k

Rearranging a harder formula means isolating one variable so the final line has xxx on its own on one side. The safest idea is balance: whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side.

Step-by-step lessons covering Oxford AQA IGCSE Maths Rearranging Harder Formulae for Core and Extended tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 2 (Core: 1C and 2C; Extension: 1E and 2E) format. Since content from any part of the specification can appear on either paper, keep number and algebra fluency sharp throughout the course rather than leaving it until near the exam.
