Question

U= ak - b solve for a

Answer 1

To solve it for "a" is to isolate "a' in one side, by doing some algebraic operations.

U =ak -b

1) Let's rewrite it

-b+ak=u

2) Add b to both sides

-b +b +ak = u +b

ak = u+b

3) Divide both sides by k

`(ak)/(k)=(u+b)/(k)`

4) Finally, we have it for 'a':

`a\text{ =}(u)/(k)\text{ + }(b)/(k)`
