Question

The equation is c=85x+60 how do you solve for x?

Answer 1

Solve for x.
c=85x+60

Flip the equation.

85x+60=c

Add -60 to both sides.

85x+60+−60=c+−60

85x=c−60

Divide both sides by 85.

85x/85=c−60/85

x = 1/85 c + −12/ 17

Answer 2

Start by subtracting 60  from both sides

c-60=85x

then divide both sides by 85

(c-60)/85 = x

so x = (c-60)/85
