Hi I need help with this question.
Rearrange this equation to isolate a
((a+(b/c))(d/e)=f
I know you first should divide both sides by (d/e)
Can anyone help, thanks
That leaves a + b/c = (ef)/d. So you subtract b/c on both sides to isolate a.
is it then a=(ef/d)-(b/c) ?
Yes.
Sure, I can help you with that. To isolate the variable "a" in the equation ((a+(b/c))(d/e)=f, you're correct that you need to divide both sides of the equation by (d/e). Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to do it:
1. Start with the equation: ((a + (b/c))(d/e) = f.
2. Divide both sides of the equation by (d/e): ((a + (b/c))(d/e)) / (d/e) = f / (d/e).
3. By dividing (d/e) by itself, it cancels out on the left side of the equation, leaving you with: a + (b/c) = f / (d/e).
4. Now, to isolate "a", you need to eliminate the term (b/c) on the left side of the equation. You can do this by subtracting (b/c) from both sides: a + (b/c) - (b/c) = f / (d/e) - (b/c).
5. The (b/c) term cancels out on the left side, leaving you with just "a": a = f / (d/e) - (b/c).
So the rearranged equation, isolating "a", is a = f / (d/e) - (b/c).
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
