Question

Describe the technique used to solve a formula for a specified letter when the formula contains more than one term with that variable.

Solve the following for w to illustrate the technique(explain/describe each step):

ax - b + cw = dw + f

? · Accepted Answer

ax - b + cw = dw + f
ax - b = dw - cw + f
ax - b - f = dw - cw
ax - b - f = w(d - c)
(ax - b - f) / (d - c)  = w

basically get the letter that you want on one side, factor it out, and divide the extra stuff
