Can someone help me with this problem? I nned to solve this literal equation for the indicated variable: D = C - s/n (for s) The indicated variable is Depreciation If you mean: s D = C - --- n Clear of fractions by multiplying every term by LCD = n Dn = Cn - s Add s to both sides s + Dn = Cn Add -Dn to both sides s = Cn - Dn ----------------------------------- If you mean: C - s D = ------- n Clear of fractions by multiplying both sides by LCD = n Dn = C - s Add s to both sides s + Dn = C Add -Dn to both sides s = C - Dn ----------------------------- Edwin
