E - F = G, for F

-wr= a, for w

tu= v + w, for u

Answer

    Literal just means solve for the named letter. E-F = G, just  subtract E from both sides and then divide by -1 and you will get the desired result. In -wr = a what do you need to divide by to get w by itself? How about -r? And finally what do you need to divide by to get u by itself? Try t.
