Answer

$m=\dfrac{E}{c^2}$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ To solve the given equation, $ E=mc^2 $ for $ m ,$ use the properties of equality to isolate the variable. $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ Using the properties of equality to isolate the variable, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} E=mc^2 \\\\ \dfrac{E}{c^2}=\dfrac{mc^2}{c^2} \\\\ \dfrac{E}{c^2}=m \\\\ m=\dfrac{E}{c^2} .\end{array}
