Question

Select the correct answer. Given the following formula, solve for a. A. B. C. D. s=a+b+C/2

Answer 1

Hey there!

The answer to your question is a = s - b - C/2

To solve for "a", we must get "a" on it's own side of the equal sign. We can first subtract "s" from both sides:

0 = a + b + C/2 - s

Then, we can subtract a from both sides:

-a = b + C/2 - s

Finally, we divide both sides by -1, so a is by itself.

a = -b - C/2 + s

And we can rearrange it to the standard form:

a = s - b - C/2

Good luck, and hope it helped! Have a great day!
