SOLUTION: If x - z = xy + w, then x equals: I tried: x - z + z = xy + w + z x = xy +w + z x/y = xy/y + w + z x/y = x + w + z stuck!

Question 749462: If x - z = xy + w, then x equals:
I tried: x - z + z = xy + w + z
x = xy +w + z
x/y = xy/y + w + z
x/y = x + w + z
stuck!
Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x - z = xy + w
Solve for x
Add z
x = xy + w + z
Subtract xy
x - xy = w + x
x(1-y) = w + z
x = (w + z)/(1 - y)
