Choice B
Choice B is incorrect. This expression gives in terms of and but doesn't maintain the given relationship between , , and . This expression may result from performing different operations with on each side of the equation. In this case, has been multiplied by , and has been divided by . However, in order to maintain the relationship between the variables in the given equation, the same operation must be performed with on each side of the equation.
Choice C
Choice C is incorrect. This expression gives in terms of and but doesn't maintain the given relationship between , , and . This expression may result from performing different operations with on each side of the equation. In this case, has been multiplied by , and the quotient of divided by has been reciprocated. However, in order to maintain the relationship between the variables in the given equation, the same operation must be performed with on each side of the equation.
Choice D
Choice D is incorrect. This expression gives in terms of and but doesn't maintain the given relationship between , , and . This expression may result from performing different operations with on each side of the equation. In this case, has been multiplied by , and has been added to . However, in order to maintain the relationship between the variables in the given equation, the same operation must be performed with on each side of the equation.
