Question 261702: Can anyone help me with this problem?
Solve for x.
Dx + Ey = F

Answer by butterfliiizzz(18) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Dx + Ey = F
You would treat this like a problem that had actual numbers where the D, E, and F are.
So we subtract Ey from each side:
Dx = F - Ey
Then, to get x by itself, we divide each side by D to get:
x = F-Ey/D
