Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Let the question determine the target before doing any algebra. Match the quantity being requested to its symbol, then plan inverse operations that leave that symbol alone. This keeps a familiar formula from pulling attention toward a given quantity that is easier to recognize but is not the unknown you need.
