Consider the following formula:

ax-bc+y=z

What represents the formula for x?

Answer: z-y+bc/a

Step-by-step explanation:

ax-bc+y=z

ax-bc=z-y

ax=z-y+bc

x=z-y+bc/a

x = (z-y) / (a-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ax-bx+y=z, we are asked to isolate x. To do so, first take common factor between the first and the second terms

ax-bx+y=z

(a-b) * x+y = z

Then, isolate the x term by subtracting y at both sides

(a-b) * x+y-y = z-y

(a-b) * x = z-y

Finally, divide by (a-b) at both sides

(a-b) * x / (a-b) = (z-y) / (a-b)

x = (z-y) / (a-b)
