Question

Solve for c.
a(c − b) = d

Answer 1

`\large \textsf{$c = (d+ab)/(a)$}\\\\`

Explanation:

1. Distribute a:

a(c - b) = d

a(c) + a(-b) = d

ac - ab = d

2. Add 'ab' to both sides:

ac - ab + ab = d + ab

3. Divide both sides by 'a' to isolate 'c':

`\large \textsf{$(ac)/(a) = (d+ab)/(a)$}\\\\\large \textsf{$c = (d+ab)/(a)$}\\\\`

Hope this helps!
