Question

In the following equation a, b, c, and x are constants. In other words, a, b, c, and x should be treated like numbers. y is the variable. Solve the equation for y. Show each step. ax + by = c

Answer 1

y =
`(c - ax)/(b)`

Explanation:

ax + by = c

Subtract ax from both sides

by = c - ax

divide both sides by b

y =
`(c - ax)/(b)`
