Understanding Variable Formulae: Expressions and Calculations Using Common Equations
This guide covers the fundamental concepts of using variable formulae in mathematics, including substitution and computation of various expressions. Learn how to work with equations like ( y + 3 ), ( frac{1}{2}y ), and ( p - 4 ), as well as practical applications such as calculating cooking times for a chicken and hiring costs for a sander. The guide includes step-by-step examples for evaluating formulas, helping you master the necessary skills for solving equations in different contexts.

This is how to cook a chicken Using formulae Time = 20mins × w + 15 mins T = 20 w + 15
This is how to cook a chicken Using formulae T = 20 w + 15 How long does a 4kg chicken take to cook?
The cost of hiring a sander for a number of hours Using formulae Cost = £12 × n + £10 C = 12n + 10
The cost of hiring a sander for a number of hours Using formulae C = 12n + 10 Work out the cost of hiring a sander for 8 hours.
The exchange formula for pounds and euros Using formulae P = 0.8E Work out the value of €300 in pounds Work out the value of £300 in euros
Here is another formula Using formulae V = ab − c Work out the value of V when : a = 5, b = 3 and c = 0.5
Here is another formula Using formulae T = 3m2 + 4n Work out the value of T when : m = 6 and n = 9
