Steps to solve for w: 1. multiply 2 Distribute Q 3. Subtract 4. factor out __ 5 divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Q=\frac{bw}{b+w}\]\[(b+w)Q=bw\]\[b+w=\frac{bw}{Q}\]\[\frac{b+w}{b}=\frac{w}{Q}\]You finish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I like @abb0t 's steps better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

q=bw/(b+w) q(b+w)=bw q(b+w)-bw=0 factor w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Q=\frac{bw}{b+w}\]\[(b+w)Q=bw\]\[bQ+wQ=bw\]\[wQ=bw-bQ\]\[wQ=b(w-Q)\]You finish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops I solved for the wrong variable
