Answer:
[tex]1) x = \frac{z}{4} - y[/tex]
[tex]2) b = \frac{e}{a} - \frac{cd}{a}[/tex]
Explanation:
(1) Making x the subject: [tex]4(x + y) = z[/tex]
To make x the subject of original expression, we send the x to the left side of expression and all of the other components to the right side of expression.
The detail procedure is described as following:
[tex]4(x + y) = z[/tex]
Apply associate property:
<=> [tex]4x + 4y = z[/tex]
Send 4y to the right side (the sign of 4y must be changed from positive to negative):
<=> [tex]4x = z - 4y[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4:
<=> [tex]x = \frac{z}{4} - y[/tex]
(2) Make b the subject: [tex]ab + cd = e[/tex], applying the similar procedure in part (1):
[tex]ab + cd = e[/tex]
Send [tex]cd[/tex] to the right side (the sign of
<=> [tex]ab = e - cd[/tex]
Divide both sides by [tex]a[/tex]:
<=> [tex]b = \frac{e}{a} - \frac{cd}{a}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
