solve N=bv/b+v solve for v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N=bv/b+v N-v = bv/b (N-v) = v // i think you can solve it now.

OpenStudy (vortish):

you lost me on that what happened to the b's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b/b = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything divided by itself is 1.

OpenStudy (vortish):

ok i get that (N-v)=v that is not the last step is it i have a hard time with these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N-v = v N = v+v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it \(\large N = \frac{bv}{b+v}\) or \(\large N = \frac{bv}{b}+v\)

OpenStudy (vortish):

would that be the last step or would it be N=v^2 and wio the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2+2 = 2(2) v+v = 2(?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good observation @wio. I didn't think of that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \Large \begin{array}{rcl} N &=&\frac{bv}{b+v}\\ N(b+v) &=& bv \\ Nb+Nv &=& bv\\ Nb &=& bv-Nv \\ Nb &=& (b-N)v \\ \frac{Nb}{b-N} &=&v \\ \end{array} \]

OpenStudy (vortish):

N=2v

OpenStudy (vortish):

so wio your saying that v= Nb/b-N right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Put parenthesis around the denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Otherwise that subtraction will happen at the wrong time.

OpenStudy (vortish):

v=(Nb)/b-N

OpenStudy (vortish):

wrong v=Nb/(b-N)

OpenStudy (vortish):

is there more to this equation

OpenStudy (vortish):

wio is there any more steps to this equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (vortish):

ok but in the final answer i need the parentheses correct
