How do you solve for a in #5 + ab = c#?
3 Answers
Explanation:
#"isolate "ab" by subtracting 5 from both sides"#
#cancel(5)cancel(-5)+ab=c-5#
#ab=c-5#
#"divide both sides by "b#
#(a cancel(b))/cancel(b)=(c-5)/brArra=(c-5)/b#
Explanation:
As there are 3 variables in this equation, i.e
Therefore, the value of
Now, as per the question, we have
Hence the value of
#color(blue)(5+ab=c#
To, find a, we need to isolate it in the left hand side of the equation.
We can do that by adding or subtracting or multiplying or dividing the same number on both sides of the equation
So, subtract
Divide both sides by
