Calculus help...? Solving equations for indicated variables

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-08-20] [Hit: ]
7b.Divide both sides by (2b + 2c); (V - 2bc)/(2b + 2c) = a; if you factor out a 2 in the denominator, it will look the same as the given answer.d.Divide both sides by (1 + nr); P = A/(1 + nr).-Question # 7 Part a.......
I have a hard time rearranging equations because I think I got it but it turns out to be super wrong so can anyone good at this please help me? :) I provided the answers in the picture below I just don't know how to get to those answers I keep getting things completely different like for 7a i got a = (x+y+z) / (bc)

7a. Multiply both sides by abc:
xbc + acy + abz = abc

Factor out an a in each term that has one:
xbc + a(cy) + a(bz) = a(bc)

Get them all on the same side of the equation, and away from everything else:
xbc = a(bc) - a(cy) - a(bz)

Combine the terms on the right:
xbc = a(bc - cy - bz)

Divide both sides by (bc - yc - zb) to isolate a: xbc/(bc - yc - zb) = a

7b. Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses:
V = 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

Get everything without an a on the other side of the equation:
V - 2bc = 2ab + 2ca

Factor out an a on the right:
V - 2bc = a(2b + 2c)

Divide both sides by (2b + 2c); (V - 2bc)/(2b + 2c) = a; if you factor out a 2 in the denominator, it will look the same as the given answer.

d. Factor out a P from both terms on the right:
A = P(1 + nr)

Divide both sides by (1 + nr); P = A/(1 + nr).

Question # 7 Part a.)

x/a + y/b + z/c = 1 [solve for 'a']

x/a + y/b + z/c = 1

Get the term with 'y' and 'z' to the other side

x/a = 1 - y/b - z/c

Get the terms on the right under the same denominator

x/a =[bc - cy - bz] / bc

Divide both sides by 'x'

1/a = [bc - cy - bz] / (bc)x

Now take the reciprocal of both sides (raise both sides to the "-1" power) to get

a = (bc)x / [bc - cy - bz]

-
x/a + y/b + z/c = 1
(bcx + acy + abz) / abc = 1 .. (Find LCD and add terms on left side)
bcx + acy + abz = abc ......... (Multiply both sides by abc)
abz + acy - abc = - bcx ........ (Subtract abc and bcx from both sides)
a(bz + cy - bc) = - bcx ......... (Factor out a from left side)
a = - bcx / (bz + cy - bc) ...... (Divide both sides by bz - cy - bc)
a = bcx / (bc - cy - bz) ........ (Multiply numerator and denominator by - 1 and rearrange denominator)

Answer: Option a.

Its simple
you have,
x/a + y/b +z/c = 1
x/a = 1 - y/b - z/c

Taking LCM
x/a = bc - yc - zb / (bc)
1/a = bc - yc - zb / (bcx)

a = bcx / bc - yc - zb

a = bcx / bc - bz - cy
