Question

C = 3h - ax
a. solve for "h"
b. solve for "a"
c. solve for "x"

I think I got (a.)-
C = 3h - ax
C + ax = 3h
C + ax
------ = h
3

-but for (b.) and (c.), all I've got is:
-3h + C = -ax

How do I get "a" away from "x", on either problem?

Answer 1

part a is correct

Answer 2

for part b divide both sides by -a
recall -ax is -a times x the opposite of times is divide

Answer 3

sorry my comment is for part c divide both sides by -a
for part b divide both sides by x

Answer 4

So, in the end:

(a.) C + ax
------- = h
3
(b.) -3h + C
-------- = a
-x
(c.) -3h + C
-------- = x
-a

Correct?

Answer 5

yes
