Question

Solve x-5/y = z for y​

Answer 1

y=5x−z

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by y.

xy−5=yz

Step 2: Add -yz to both sides.

xy−5+−yz=yz+−yz

xy−yz−5=0

Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.

xy−yz−5+5=0+5

xy−yz=5

Step 4: Factor out variable y.

y(x−z)=5

Step 5: Divide both sides by x-z.

y(x−z)x−z=5x−z

y=5x−z
