- baddox 9y agoCan you find any reference to the idea gas law as a “formula?” As far as I can tell, equations without a single variable on the left side are referred to as simply equations, while solutions of such equations in terms of one variable are referred to as formulas. This seems to be the case for every well-known identity I can think of, like the quadratic equation/formula. Can you think of any counterexamples?
