Question

ax+z=aw-y, solve for a

Answer 1

Subtract z from both sides
Subtract aw from both sides

Tell me what you get.

Answer 2

My answer is a=-y-z/x-w just wondering if it is right?

Answer 3

You have it almost right except you have to put parenthesis around the numerator and the denominator.
a = (-y - z) / (x - w)

Answer 4

Thank you

Answer 5

\[\Large a = \frac{ -y - z }{ x - w }\]

Answer 6

you are welcome.

Without parenthesis your a=-y-z/x-w might be seens as:
\[\Large a = -y -\frac{ z }{ w } - w\]
