I am already weak at math, but when they throw in letters it throws me off and confuses me more... can someone please show me how to work this problem?
Ax+Hy=L,for x.
All you have to do here is isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Soooo start with substraction, like this:
Ax + Hy = L
Ax = L - Hy
Now, to get rid of the coefficient A to isolate just the variable x, you have to divide both sides by A. (since A is technically multiplying by x, you have to the opposite of that to get rid of it, which is division.)
Ax= L - Hy
x = (L - Hy) / A
I hope I explained this okay!!
thank you for your explainations, I think I got most of it down, I need to practice more problems such as these...Thank you so much appreciate it..
You're welcome :)
Sure! I can help you with that.
To solve for x in the equation Ax + Hy = L, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Here are the steps to solve for x:
Step 1: Move the term containing y to the other side of the equation:
Ax = L - Hy
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, which is A:
(Ax) / A = (L - Hy) / A
Step 3: Simplify the equation:
x = (L - Hy) / A
That's it! You have solved for x. The value of x is (L - Hy) divided by A.
Remember to always follow these steps when solving equations. Start by isolating the variable you want to solve for, and perform the necessary operations to get the variable by itself.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve equations with variables. Let me know if you have any more questions!
