Question

Solve for n.

C=dn+d

How do I solve this?

Answer 1

n = (C-d)/d (<--- new equation)

Explanation:

To solve for n, your main goal is to get the letter by itself, alone on one side of the equation.

Start by subtracting d from both sides. This will give you: C-d=dn

Now since you have another variable being multiplied to n, you need to divide both sides by that variable. In this case, d. This will give you: (C-d)/d=n.

Note: you cannot simplify further due to your new equation wanting the difference of C and d to be divided by d, not C divided by d and d divided by d separately.

So now if you were given numerical values of C and d to find n, plug them in to your new equation.

Answer 2

`c = dn + d \\ c - d = dn \\ n = (c - d)/(d) \\ n = (c)/(d) - (d)/(d) \\ n = (c)/(d) - 1 \\ thank \: you`
