I'm not very good at math and I'm trying to help a friend out with her algebra, haha

the problem: Solve for X

bX-cX=-c


Can you show me how to do this?





Hehe, how's this for off topic?

BX-CX=-C

Factor out X

X(B-C)=-C

X= -C/B-C
which is the same as
X=C/C-B
which is a nicer way to write the answer.

All you have to do is isolate the X:

bX-cX = -c
X(b-c) = -c
X = -c/(b-c)

Ta da. She must be pretty good looking if you volunteered to help her with algebra and "aren't too good at math"...

^^^ Last I checked, that was the real reason we all show up here. We are bored and somehow end up helping people.

Add the bed. Subtract the clothes. Divide legs. Multiply.

Math was never my strong point. Maybe thats y i stole the answers to the tests n sold em.
