ax-b=c, for x

OpenStudy (dmb1215):

ok it would be x=c/a+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ax-b=c ax= b+c \[\huge x= \frac{b+c}{a}\]

OpenStudy (dmb1215):

c+b because you moved the b not the c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why not b+c ? @Dmb1215

OpenStudy (dmb1215):

because when you move the b over it goes behind the c because you move it to the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 2+3 = 3+2 = 5, why?

OpenStudy (dmb1215):

put a negative number there

OpenStudy (dmb1215):

-3-3=-6 ok 3--3= 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But there is no negative number!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (dmb1215):

i know that its just vairables but what if one of the variables = a negative number

OpenStudy (anonymous):
