Question

rearrange your equation to isolate a:(a+b/c)(d-e)=f

Answer 1

Is it suppose to look like this?
\[\large \left(\color{orangered}{\frac{a+b}{c}}\right)\left(d-e\right)=f\]


Or like this?
\[\large \left(\color{orangered}{a+\frac{b}{c}}\right)\left(d-e\right)=f\]

Answer 2

If the pretty math pictures didn't show up, let me know.

Answer 3

the second one

Answer 4

Hmm darn, that makes things a little trickier.

Answer 5

We'll start by expanding out the brackets.
Remember how to multiply those out?
`FOIL` them out, or whatever it's called :)

Answer 6

so multiply the f by everything

Answer 7

Oh woops, we don't need to multiply the brackets out, my mistake.

Answer 8

Let's start by dividing both sides by \((d-e)\).

Answer 9

ok so it would look like this? a+b/c=f/d-e?

Answer 10

Yes good c:

Answer 11

haha ok. so now would we divide b/c on both sides?

Answer 12

No, next we want to subtract \(\dfrac{b}{c}\) from each side \:D/

Answer 13

If you divided, you would also have to divide a by b/c, which would create a big mess.

Answer 14

Haha! sorry! so when we subtract it would leave us with f/d-e-b/c? sorry i dont know how to do the equation thing

Answer 15

Yes.
\[\large a+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{f}{d-e}\]
Will become,\[\large a=\frac{f}{d-e}-\frac{b}{c}\]

Answer 16

You could prolly combine fractions or whatever. But I don't think that's necessary. I think they just want you to stop here, now that we've solved for a.

Answer 17

Thank you so Much you really did help me. How do i contact you if i need more help
