make c the subject of the formula. w=ac/a-c

1 answer

Starting with:

w = ac / (a - c)

Multiplying both sides by (a - c):

w(a - c) = ac

Expanding the left side:

wa - wc = ac

Rearranging:

wa = ac + wc

Factoring out c on the right side:

wa = c(a + w)

Dividing both sides by (a + w):

c = wa / (a + w)

Therefore, c is equal to wa divided by the sum of a and w.
