Question

Solve the equation below for c

a=b+c/d

C=?

Answer 1

ad-b=c

Answer 2

Subtract b. Multiply by d. Ohmigosh!

Answer 3

Multply both sides by d and then subtract b from both sides.

Answer 4

Alright, I'm reading a=b+(c/d), not a=(b+c)/d

Answer 5

You'd multiply by D first @badreferences

Answer 6

:)

Answer 7

Yo, a=b+c/d is by standard calculator input syntax, a=b+(c/d). Where you subtract b first, and then multiply by d, for c=d(a-b).

Answer 8

@madscientist101 When someone types a+b/c online, it's generally accepted that they mean a+(b/c) not (a+b)/c.

Answer 9

Because that's how online inputs interpret a+b/c.

Answer 10

but c is what c=?

Answer 11

c=d(a-b)=da-db

Answer 12

c=a something just dont know the order of things

Answer 13

idk if
c=ab-d
c=a+b-d
or
c=ab+d

Answer 14

i ment c= a+b/d not c=a+b-d

Answer 15

Alright, @Kyrie, be careful about what you type. Is it a=b+(c/d) or a=(b+c)/d? Because HTML input format usually takes it to be the former if you just type in a=b+c/d.

Answer 16

it is a= b+c / d

\[a= \left(\begin{matrix}b+c \\ d\end{matrix}\right)\]

Answer 17

Use parentheses. You MEANT to type in (b+c)/d, right? That is incredibly different from b+c/d.

Answer 18

im confused...

Answer 19

i only know its a fraction
