Question

How do you solve for c a(c+b)=d

Answer 1

$a(c+b)=d$

To solve for c:

1. Use distributive property to remove parentheses:

$ac+ab=d$

2. Subtract ab in both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} ac+ab-ab=d-ab \\ ac=d-ab \end{gathered}$

3. Divide both sides of the equation into a:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{a}{a}c=\frac{d}{a}-\frac{ab}{a} \\ \\ c=\frac{d}{a}-b \end{gathered}$
