Question

Solve for x. C=x+a/b

Answer 1

Since you are solving for x, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Start by subtracting C from both sides.

0 = x + a / b - C

Subtract x from both sides to have it on the left side of the equation.

-x = a / b - C

Make x a positive number by dividing both sides by negative one.

x = - a / b + C

A better way of writing this answer would be: $x=-\frac{a}{b} + C$.
