Answer:

My best guess rn is the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

the last dude had it close but it was basically flipped as you can tell.

The answer is (C) [tex]R_2=\frac{R_TR_1}{(R_1-R_T)}[/tex]

We need to make [tex]R_2[/tex] the subject of the formula [tex]R_T=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}[/tex]

First remove the denominator by multiplying both sides by the binomial [tex](R_1+R_2)[/tex]

[tex]R_T\times (R_1+R_2)=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}\times(R_1+R_2)\\\\R_TR_1+R_TR_2=R_1R_2[/tex]

Arrange all terms containing [tex]R_2[/tex] on one side

[tex]R_1R_2-R_TR_2=R_TR_1[/tex]

Factor out [tex]R_2[/tex] from the LHS

[tex]R_2(R_1-R_T)=R_TR_1[/tex]

Finally, divide both sides by the binomial [tex](R_1-R_T)[/tex] to leave [tex]R_2[/tex]

[tex]R_2(R_1-R_T)\times\frac{1}{(R_1-R_T)}=R_TR_1\times\frac{1}{(R_1-R_T)}\\\\R_2=\frac{R_TR_1}{(R_1-R_T)}[/tex]
