Question

Given 4x = a + b 8c , rearrange the equation for a, in terms of b, c, and x. A) a = 32bx − c B) a = 32cx − b C) a = 32bc − x D) a = 32cx + b

Answer 1

answer is (A)a=32bx- c

Answer 2

Answer:

            a = 4x - 8bc

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 4x = a + b8c , we can use addition, multiplication, division and subtraction to rearrange the equation.

Step 1 : Start by subtracting b8c from both sides.

4x - b8c = a + b8c - b8c

Step 2: The equation now is :

4x - b8c = a  , or

a = 4x - b8c

Therefore, the equation for a in terms of b,c and x is

          a = 4x - 8bc

NB: Note that the given choices do not give the correct order of the terms as solved.
