Solve for y in ax + by – c = 0.

Answer – The value of y in ax + by  c = 0 is c  axb.

Explanation:

To solve for y in the given equation, we need to isolate the term containing y, which in this case is by. For this, we need to make sure that the other terms, ax and c, are on the right-hand side of the equation.

We begin by adding c to both sides:

ax + by  c = 0

              + c    + c

 ax + by = c

Now, to eliminate ax from the left-hand side, we subtract it from both sides:

 ax + by = c

 ax             ax

by = c  ax

Finally, we divide both sides by b to get the value of y:

  by = c  ax

÷ b   ÷ b

y = c  axb
