You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve for y: ax+by=c
This is called a literal equation since there are no numbers.
To solve for y means to isolate y.
The same applies to any variable we are solving for.
ax + by = c
by = c - ax
y = (c - ax)/b
NOTE: y = (-ax + c)/b is the same thing as y = (c - ax)/b.
We can apply the commutative rule of addition on the numerator allowing us to switch the terms around not changing the value of the entire fraction. Understand?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve for y; ax+by=c
first subtract ax from both sides
ax+by=c
-ax -ax
we get by=c-ax; now divide by b, we get
by/b=c/b-ax/b; simplify
y=c/b-a/b*x answer.......I hope this helps!
