As a basic example

{v = u + at

Rearrange for a.}

I literally cant find the answer anywhere on google, youtube, or these forums. Please bear with me if its a simple question, I only got my teeth into the program yesterday. Its the one function I need to speed things up. I don't want to have to do it on paper every couple of minutes.

Many Thanks,
Ben

I only got my teeth into the program yesterday.

So I guess you should spend some time on the help pages, in your case especially those dealing with symbolic operations. Look up the command "solve".

Ok so I use the solve -> function but what keyword do I use?? I tried rewrite but can't get it to work!

The keyword is solve, followed by a comma and then the variable name you want to solve for.
