V=C- ((C-S)/(L))N
How do you solve the equation for C?
Can someone please explain I am very confused on how to do it. Thanks.

First, since you have two c's, you have to get them together somehow.
Since anything divided by itself is = 1, L/L = 1, multiply the first C by L/L.
V = (CL/L) - ((C - S)/L)N
Distribute the N to make it easier, we'll factor it out later.
V = (CL/L) - ((CN - SN)/L)
Since the denominators are now the same, combine the terms.
V = (CL - CN - SN)/L
Now we need to get the c's by themselves. First we'll have to get rid of the denominator. We'll do that by multiplying both sides.
V*L = ((CL - CN - SN)/L)*L
The L's on the right cancel.
VL = (CL - CN - SN)
Get the c terms on one side by adding SN to both sides.
VL + SN = CL - CN
Factor out the c's
VL + SN = C(L - N)
And now divide by whatever is being multiplied by the C
(VL + SN) / (L - N) = C
Since anything divided by itself is = 1, L/L = 1, multiply the first C by L/L.
V = (CL/L) - ((C - S)/L)N
Distribute the N to make it easier, we'll factor it out later.

VL + SN = CL - CN
Factor out the c's
VL + SN = C(L - N)
And now divide by whatever is being multiplied by the C
(VL + SN) / (L - N) = C
