Answer:
x equals the quantity negative B times y plus C all over A
Step-by-step explanation:
First I like to translate the words into the actual equations they represent…
so…
1. x = (-By + C) / A
2. x = (By + C) / A
3. x = (By – C) / A
4. x = (-By – C) / A
To solve:
starting equation is
Ax + By = C
so to get x by itself you first subtract By from both sides of the equation
Ax = -By + C
and then divide by A
x = (-By + C) / A
which matches the first answer
