1. **Problem statement:**
(c) Given the pressure drop formula in a water pipeline system:
$$P = 4QL + 80$$
where $P$ is the pressure drop in kPa, $Q$ is the flow rate in m³/s, and $L$ is the pipe length in meters.
(a) Rearrange the formula to solve for $Q$.
(b) Calculate $Q$ when $P = 80$ kPa and $L = 10$ m.

2. **Rearranging the formula to find $Q$:**
Start with:
$$P = 4QL + 80$$
Subtract 80 from both sides:
$$P - 80 = 4QL$$
Divide both sides by $4L$ to isolate $Q$:
$$Q = \frac{P - 80}{4L}$$
Show cancellation:
$$Q = \frac{P - 80}{\cancel{4} \cancel{L}} \times \frac{1}{\cancel{4} \cancel{L}}$$
(Here, just indicating division by $4L$.)

3. **Calculate $Q$ for given values:**
Given $P = 80$ kPa and $L = 10$ m, substitute into the formula:
$$Q = \frac{80 - 80}{4 \times 10} = \frac{0}{40} = 0$$
So, the flow rate $Q$ is 0 m³/s.

4. **Problem statement:**
(d) Given the heat transfer rate formula in a cooling system:
$$H = 5A - 20$$
where $H$ is the heat transfer rate in kW and $A$ is the surface area in m².
(a) Rearrange the formula to solve for $A$.
(b) Calculate $A$ when $H = 130$ kW.
---
5. **Rearranging the formula to find $A$:**
Start with:
$$H = 5A - 20$$
Add 20 to both sides:
$$H + 20 = 5A$$
Divide both sides by 5:
$$A = \frac{H + 20}{5}$$
Show cancellation:
$$A = \frac{H + 20}{\cancel{5}} \times \frac{1}{\cancel{5}}$$
---
6. **Calculate $A$ for given value:**
Given $H = 130$ kW, substitute into the formula:
$$A = \frac{130 + 20}{5} = \frac{150}{5} = 30$$
So, the surface area $A$ is 30 m².
---
**Final answers:**
(c)(a) $Q = \frac{P - 80}{4L}$
(c)(b) $Q = 0$ m³/s
(d)(a) $A = \frac{H + 20}{5}$
(d)(b) $A = 30$ m²
