Question

Solve for c in terms of a and b.
b=–c/a
c=

Answer 1

To solve for \( c \) in terms of \( a \) and \( b \) from the equation \( b = -\frac{c}{a} \), we can follow these steps:

1. Start with the initial equation:
\[
b = -\frac{c}{a}
\]

2. Multiply both sides by \( a \) to eliminate the fraction:
\[
ab = -c
\]

3. Now, solve for \( c \) by multiplying both sides by -1:
\[
c = -ab
\]

So, the solution for \( c \) in terms of \( a \) and \( b \) is:
\[
c = -ab
\]
