Given the equation:
a = h(b + c)
Solve for c.
Solution:
In order to solve for c, we distribute first h to each value inside the parenthesis.
a = h(b + c)
a = bh + ch
Transpose bh on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a value or a term, the sign changes.
ch = a - bh
Divide both sides by h in order to cancel out ch, leaving behind c.
ch/h = a/h - bh/h
c = a/h - b
Final answer:
c = a/h - b
