Question

Solve the formula Ax + By = C for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = C - By over A

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable.

Ax + By = C

Focusing on the left side of the equation (this is to isolate x), we can see that By is the farthest from x, and that it's adding. So we subtract from both sides. The -By would cancel out +By, which would leave us with.

Ax = C - By

Here we see that A is multiplying x, opposite of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by A, which would give us:

x = C - By over A
