Ax+by=c, how would I solve for y

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Solving for y means trying to get the equation into the form y= _____.  So, let's say that we are going to keep the y value on the left side of the equation.  

First, we would subtract ax from both sides.  This results in the equation by=c-ax.

Next, we figure out that y has a coefficient of b.  They are combined together by multiplication, so to undo this operation, we need to divide both sides by b.  

If done correctly, your final answer should be(c-ax)/(b).  Or, y=c-ax/b

Answer: v=(5)/(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, substitute the variables with the given values.

v=u+at turns into v=1+(3)((1)/(2) )

First, multiply what is in the parentheses

(3)((1)/(2))=(3)/(2)

v=1+(3)/(2)

c){-15,27}
d){-21,33}

Answers

If you would like to solve x^2 - 12 * x = 13, you can do this using the following steps:

x^2 - 12 * x = 13
x^2 - 12 * x - 13 = 0
(x - 13) * (x + 1) = 0
1. x = 13
2. x = -1

The correct result would be b) {-1, 13}.
