b+ax=c solve for x Need a walk through, thanks

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Considering there are no number replacements b+ax=c isolate x subtract the b ax=c-b divide by a x=c-b/a

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quick question though, by isolate x what do you mean?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

example y+x=c you want x to be on one sign of the equal sign in this case you would subtract y x=c-y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome, thanks so much for your time!

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

np, feel free to fan and ask more questions :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y isn't even in the equation

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

y+x=c that's an example I just made up.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

your answer for your question is in my first post

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh god, ok, but anytime you are solving for x, the first step is to isolate x in the same way?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

more than likely, yes
