Question

Solve for y: ax+y/b=c

Group of answer choices

A. y=bc−abx

B. y=bc+ax

C. y=bc+abx

D. y=bc−ax

Answer 1

y=bc-abx

Explanation:

Given the equation ax + y/b = c, the first thing you'd want to do is isolate the variable that you are trying to solve for.

To do this, you must first subtract ax from both sides, to leave y/b by itself on one side of the equation, resulting in:

y/b = c - ax

Now all you need to do to isolate y, and you can do so by multiplying both sides by b, cancelling out y being divided by b.

b(y/b) = b(c - ax)

y = b(c - ax)

To simplify and fit one of the answer choices, you simply distribute b via multiplication to both c and -ax:

y = bc - abx
