Question

Rearrange C = Ax + By for the quantity of interest y. Make sure to show each step.


Keep your answer 2-3 sentences long and simple.

Answer 1

Start with C = A x + B y and subtract A x from both sides to get C - A x = B y.
Divide both sides by B to isolate y, giving y = (C - A x) / B.
(Assumes B ≠ 0.)
