Rearrange equation A = B - C / D to find C

[mdem1234]

Hi,

Just need a minute of your time to help rearrange this equation, I want to find C.. I can find -C but then am not sure where to go from there. Can anyone help? Thanks!

A=B-C/D


I have DA = B-C
and i got DA - B = -C

is this right?

DA + C = B
so C = B - DA ?

Multiply everything by (-1) - then (-C) will turn into (C).

but then am not sure where to go from there. Can anyone help? Thanks!

A=B-C/D

I want to find C...

A=B-C/D

Is the above equivalent to either of the following?

. . . . .$\displaystyle A\, =\, B\, -\, \frac{C}{D}$

. . . . .$\displaystyle A\, =\, \frac{B\, -\, C}{D}$

What were your steps, and what is your current result?

Thank you!

Correct, but ONLY if your equation is A = (B - C) / D
