4. Some hints: 1. Group unknown parameters/values on the same side of the equation example: [unknowns] = [knowns] 2. Look for a Case 1 and a Case 2 (usually two data points) to make intermediate calculations 3. Take ratios of Case 1 and Case 2 to cancel as many unknowns as possible 4. Carry all symbols to the end of the manipulation before evaluating, UNLESS THEY ARE ZERO 4

5. 5 Knowns: Intermediate Conversion, X 1, K C, and W 1 = W 2 Unknowns: F A0, W 1, C A0 P5-17 B California Professional Exam Problem A B
