SOLUTION: How do you transform this equation to isolate x ?
x / (x +y) = c
If I multiply each side by (x +y), I get:
x = cx + cy
then I can subtract cx from both sides:
x - cx

Question 363319: How do you transform this equation to isolate x ?
x / (x +y) = c
If I multiply each side by (x +y), I get:
x = cx + cy
then I can subtract cx from both sides:
x - cx = cy
But I still can't get x by itself. ???

You're doing great, I'll start where you left off.
Start with the given equation.
Factor out the GCF 'x'.
Divide both sides by to isolate x.
