SOLUTION: Cant figure out to solve this equation, I need to solve for the indicated variable, in this case "y" (y+1)(a-3)=x-2 for y So far I have this: ay-3y+a-3=x-2 ay-3y+a-a= x

Question 647345: Cant figure out to solve this equation, I need to solve for the indicated variable, in this case "y"
(y+1)(a-3)=x-2 for y
So far I have this:
ay-3y+a-3=x-2
ay-3y+a-a= x+1-a
ay-3y=x+1-a
Thanks

you about got it whipped here, just factor out y on the left
y(a-3) = x + 1 - a
Divide both sides by (a-3)
y = =
