Question

Solve each literal equation for the given variable.
solve for c
y=mx+c

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( y = mx + c \) for \( c \), you need to isolate \( c \) on one side of the equation. Here are the steps:

1. Start with the original equation:
\[
y = mx + c
\]

2. Subtract \( mx \) from both sides to isolate \( c \):
\[
y - mx = c
\]

3. Rearranging gives:
\[
c = y - mx
\]

Thus, the solution for \( c \) is:
\[
c = y - mx
\]
