Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the unknown quantity, we will make the unknown quantity the subject of the given equation.

For F=GMm/r^2

a. M =

F=GMm/r^2

The first thing to do is cross multiply, so that the equation gives

Now, divide both sides of the equation by , we then get

Then,

Hence,

b. r =

F=GMm/r^2

Likewise, we will first cross multiply, we then get

Now, divide both sides by , so that the equation becomes

∴

Then,

For M=kxa^3/p^2

a. P =

M=kxa^3/p^2

The first thing to do is cross multiply, so that the equation becomes

Now, divide both sides by M, we then get

∴

Then,

b. a =

M=kxa^3/p^2

Also, we will first cross multiply to get

Then, divide both sides of the equation by to get

∴

Then,
