Question

a=[bx - c]= d

Answer 1

some details please

Answer 2

solve each question for x

Answer 3

i already did it but i'm not sure if it's correct

Answer 4

do the brackets mean anything and you do know you have two equal signs right?

Answer 5

is this some kind of algebra or something more exotic,and as freckles said do the brackets have some special you know meaning

Answer 6

i think i wrote it wrong it's supposed to be a [bx -c] = d

Answer 7

welll okay
I would divide both sides by a first isolating the thing in brackets

Answer 8

and put a little note on the side I suppose saying assuming a is not 0

Answer 9

bx-c=d/a

then just undo the subtract by c by adding c on both sides

Answer 10

and then divide both sides by b making an assumption that b isn't 0

Answer 11

i did this
a [bx - c] =d
divide both sides by a
then
[bx -c] =da
bx-c =da
then i add c on both sides
bx=da+c over b
x=da + c over b

Answer 12

if you divided both sides by a then why does it show you divided a on one side and multiplied a on the opposing side?

Answer 13

\[a(bx-c)=d \\ \\ \text{ divide } a \text{ on both sides assuming } a \neq 0 \\bx-c=\frac{d}{a} \\ \text{ adding } c \text{ on both sides } bx=c+\frac{d}{a} \\ \text{ now dividing } b \text{ on both sides assuming } b \neq 0 \\ x=\frac{1}{b}(c+\frac{d}{a})\]

Answer 14

if i divide it, i have to put it as a fraction then?

Answer 15

things you divide by are things that go in the bottom
like pretend we have m=3
and we wanted to divide both sides by 2
you can write that as:
\[\frac{1}{2}m=\frac{1}{2}(3) \\ \text{ or } \frac{m}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\]

Answer 16

yes i know but i wasnt sure about letters

Answer 17

the letters represent numbers

Answer 18

words

Answer 19

they are to be treated just like numbers

Answer 20

ok thanks
