solvefor x,r(x)=x-y

Solution

solve for

x, r (x) = x - y

Solution

x = - \frac{y}{r - 1}; r \neq = 1

Solution steps

r (x) = x - y

Expand

r (x) : x r

x r = x - y

Move

x

to the left side

x r - x = - y

Factor

x r - x : x (r - 1)

x (r - 1) = - y

Divide both sides by

r - 1; r \neq = 1

x = - \frac{y}{r - 1}; r \neq = 1

Popular Examples

5 x - 9 = 4 x

- 2 = - 24 - 41 c

(8 \cdot 9) - 3 x = 60 x

(x+2)/3-1=(2x-3)/2+2

\frac{x + 2}{3} - 1 = \frac{2 x - 3}{2} + 2

-3.7r+3.4=9.88+1.7r

- 3.7 r + 3.4 = 9.88 + 1.7 r
