1. The problem is to make $\alpha$ and $\beta$ the subject of an equation. However, the original equation involving $\alpha$ and $\beta$ is not provided. 2. To make a variable the subject of an equation means to isolate that variable on one side of the equation. 3. For example, if the equation is $A = \alpha + \beta$, to make $\alpha$ the subject, subtract $\beta$ from both sides: $$\alpha = A - \beta$$ 4. Similarly, to make $\beta$ the subject, subtract $\alpha$ from both sides: $$\beta = A - \alpha$$ 5. Without the specific equation, this is the general approach: use algebraic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and factoring to isolate $\alpha$ or $\beta$. If you provide the exact equation, I can show the detailed steps to make $\alpha$ and $\beta$ the subject.
