Question

How to solve for a, 2b - a/c = -1/2d

Answer 1

a =
`(c+4bcd)/(2d)`

Explanation:

Given

2b -
`(a)/(c)` = -
`(1)/(2d)`

Multiply through by 2cd to clear the fractions

4bcd - 2ad = - c ( subtract 4bcd from both sides )

- 2ad = - c - 4bcd ( multiply through by - 1 to clear the leading negative )

2ad = c + 4bcd ( divide both sides by 2d )

a =
`(c+4bcd)/(2d)`
