I call myself posting the steps. Step 1 is the original problem. Step 3 is the final result.

Answer 11

confused about what your saying

Answer 12

1.) Original Problem:
3a + 2b = c

2.) Subtract 3a from both sides:
2b = c - 3a

3.) Divide both sides by 2:
b = (c - 3a)/2

What more of an explanation do you need?

Answer 13

some peole need more explanation i guess, my guess is you did to the first time?

Answer 14

@zzr0ck3r , I don't recall you posting an explanation at all.

Answer 15

I didnt know he needed one, if I did I would not try and make him feel bad about it.

Answer 16

I posted the exact thing as you did, but was nice:)

Answer 17

What you posted was confusing even to me. Anytime you provide an explanation that only confuses further, it is not an explanation. Explanations help people understand the situation more clearly, not confuse them more.

Answer 18

and then make fun of them for not knowing? this is your style right>?

Answer 19

if what I posested is confusing to you, you might want to study more.

Answer 22

I did not explain, I just solved. there is a huge difference.

Answer 23

Well, next time, I'm sure you'll try to post a more comprehensive and clearer solution.
