Given: ab + c = 5 ; Solve for "c" .
___________________________
Here is how to solve for "c", with the information given.
_______________________________________
We want to isolate the variable, "c", on one side of the equation.
_________________________________________
So, given:
____________
ab + c = 5 ; We can isolate "c" on the "right-hand side" of the equation by:
__________________________
Subtracting: "ab" from EACH SIDE of the equation, as follows:
__________________________
ab + c − ab = 5 − ab ;
___________________
To get:
_____________________
c = 5 − ab
