Question 394660: I am trying to understand this so that I can explain this to my kids. I homeschool and this problem is on the worksheet that they have to turn in. Thank you for your help:
A=1/2h(x+y); solve for x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A=1/2h(x+y); solve for x
Multiply both sides by 2, to get rid of the fraction, write it like this:
h(x + y) = 2A
Divide both sides by h
x + y = %282A%29%2Fh
Subtract y from both sides
x = %282A%29%2Fh - y
