Question

Solve for the indicated variable.
cx minus dy equals a for y

Answer 1

To solve for y, isolate y on one side of the equation:

cx - dy = a

Add dy to both sides:
cx = a + dy

Subtract a from both sides:
cx - a = dy

Divide both sides by d to solve for y:
y = (cx - a) / d

Therefore, y = (cx - a) / d
