Question

Solve the equation for a: z = ma – b

Answer 1

From the given question

There are given that the equation:

`z=ma-b`

Now,

For finding the value of a, first, add b in both sides of the equation

So,

`\begin{gathered} z=ma-b \\ z+b=ma-b+b \\ z+b=ma \end{gathered}`

Then,

Divide by m on both sides the above equation

`\begin{gathered} z+b=ma \\ (z+b)/(m)=(ma)/(m) \\ a=z+b \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of a is z + b.
