If B = 2 and C = 5, find O
2 = A5
X 5 X 5
10 = A
Multiply both sides by 5

A real problem
UHF Communication is a radio system that works on line of sight. Why did the ships helicopter lose communication when only at an altitude of XXm and range of XXm
Colombus could work it out!!

Algebra Revision
B = AC
If B = 3 and A = 12, find C
3 = 12C
X C
3C = 12
Multiply both sides by C
Divide both sides by 3
3 3
C = 4Note how the C and 3 have swapped places
