Question

Given the equation ay − b = c, which expression represents y? a.) c-b/a b.) c+b/y c.) c+b/a d.) c+a/b

Answer 1

Option C. y = ( c + b ) / a

Explanation:

For this problem, we must simply isolate the y variable from the unknowns a, b, and c.

ay - b = c

ay - b + b = c + b

ay = c + b

ay * ( 1 / a ) = ( c + b ) * ( 1 / a)

y = ( c + b ) * ( 1 / a )

y = ( c + b ) / a

Thus, we will want to choose option C.
