Don't think you can, as that expression looks like a rearrangement of the present value of annuity formula.

C'mon, you should be able to do this one at least. (if not, why are you taking the course again?)

Forgot how to factor things.

I'm taking it again because it's a required class and I failed it the first time around.
I'm an English major so this math spoon is useless to me.

It's just plugging numbers into a formula.  You got to be able to do that - barely harder than year 8 maths.  They'll easily get you on a test if you can't even do that.

Give me an equation and I'll do just fine, but give me a word problem and it'll fudge me in the donkey.
