You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x - z = xy + w
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "Add z
\n" ); document.write( "x = xy + w + z
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract xy
\n" ); document.write( "x - xy = w + x
\n" ); document.write( "x(1-y) = w + z
\n" ); document.write( "x = (w + z)/(1 - y)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
