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

OpenStudy (littlebird):

Is this what it looks like?

OpenStudy (debbieg):

\[\large \frac{ (a+b) }{c }\left( d-e \right)=f\] How can you move the c to the other side? How can you move the d-e to the other side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (debbieg):

here is a hint:\[\large \frac{ m }{n }r=t \rightarrow mr=tn \rightarrow m=\frac{ tn}{r}\]

OpenStudy (debbieg):

Now, can you apply my hint to your equation? That will get you most of the way to isolating a.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you must first remove the denominator (c) and to do that you must multiply. however; you cannot multiply one side without multiplying on the other. hope this helps to start!

Sounds good thank you so much!!
