Question

How do you solve S=1/3(x+b)a. By solving equations for x?

Answer 1

S=1/3(x+b)a

\[S=(x+b)(a)/3\]
\[3S=(x+b)(a)\]
\[3/a=x+b\]
\[x=(3/a)-b\]

Answer 2

Where has S gone???

Answer 3

\[x = (1-3aSb)/3aS\] is the answer I think..

Answer 4

\[S = \frac{1}{3(x+b)a}\] \[3Sa(x+b) = 1\] \[3Sax + 3Sab = 1\]
\[3Sax = 1 - 3Sab\]
\[x = \frac{1 - 3Sab}{3Sa}\]
just viewing the possibilities

Answer 5

\[S = \frac{1}{3(x+b)}a\]
\[3S(x+ b) = a\]
\[3Sx + 3Sb = a\]
\[3Sx = a - 3Sb\]
\[x = \frac{a - 3Sb}{3S}\]

Answer 6

another possibility lol
