Question

Solve the equation for the specified variable: V= Y(a+B), for a.
a=?

Answer 1

a=-B+V/Y

Answer 2

Don't I divide both sides by Y?

Answer 3

you do!
what would u get ?

Answer 4

V/Y-b=a

Answer 5

correct :)

Answer 6

Steps: since a is on the right hand side of the equation, switch it to left, didve eachterm by Y, simplfiy equation, since B does not contian variables to solve move it to right hand side, by subtracting b from both sides, and u will get my answer

Answer 7

Yea, it was incorrect (mine was).

Answer 8

trust me next time :D

Answer 9

Yea, but your's was also incorrect.

Answer 10

:O, then post the whole equation so we know what type of method they want us to use to solve

Answer 11

OKay, it was V-YB/Y. But, I don't understand how it's that answer.

Answer 12

oh they simplified a bit
-B+V/Y = -BY/Y+V/Y= (-BY+V)/Y

Answer 13

ah okay that makes sense :) thanks!
