Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the formula \( Ax + By = C \) for \( x \), we need to isolate \( x \) on one side of the equation. This involves moving the term involving \( y \) to the other side and then dividing by the coefficient \( A \).
Solution Approach
Subtract \( By \) from both sides of the equation to get \( Ax = C - By \).
Divide both sides by \( A \) to solve for \( x \).
Step 1: Subtract \( By \) from both sides
Starting with the equation:
\[ Ax + By = C \]
Subtract \( By \) from both sides to isolate the term involving \( x \):
\[ Ax = C - By \]
Step 2: Divide both sides by \( A \)
To solve for \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by \( A \):
\[ x = \frac{C - By}{A} \]
