Math Problem Statement

Make c the subject of this formula: a = b - c

Solution

To make cc the subject of the formula a=bca = b - c, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the given equation: a=bca = b - c

  2. Add cc to both sides of the equation: a+c=ba + c = b

  3. Subtract aa from both sides: c=bac = b - a

Thus, the formula with cc as the subject is: c=bac = b - a
