Solve the formula for the indicated variable. C = u - k/ n for u

1 answer

To solve the formula C = u - k/n for u, we will isolate the variable u on one side of the equation.

C = u - k/n

First, let's get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by n:

n * C = n * (u - k/n)

nC = u * n - k

Next, let's isolate u by adding k to both sides of the equation:

nC + k = u * n

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by n:

(nC + k)/n = u

Therefore, the formula for u in terms of C, k, and n is:

u = (nC + k)/n
