Solve for y v=(x-y)/z

Problem

v=(x−y)/z

Solution

1. Multiply both sides of the equation by z to clear the fraction.

v*z=x−y

2. Subtract x from both sides to begin isolating the term containing y

v*z−x=−y

3. Multiply the entire equation by −1 to solve for y

−(v*z−x)=y

4. Distribute the negative sign and rearrange the terms.

x−v*z=y

Final Answer

y=x−v*z
