Question

g=x-c/x. for x

how do yoy make this an equation for x? help

Answer 1

1.
$\displaystyle \text{if }\quad G=x- \frac{C}{x}$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$\displaystyle Gx=x\bigg(x- \frac{C}{x}\bigg )\\\\Gx=x^2-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:
$Gx-Gx=x^2-C-Gx\\x^2-Gx-C=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x^2-Gx-C=0\\\\x_{1,2}= \frac{G\pm \sqrt{G^2+4C} }{2}$

2.
$\displaystyle\text{if}\quad G= \frac{x-C}{x}$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$Gx=x-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:

$x-C-Gx=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x-Gx-C=0\\x(1-G)=C\\x= \frac{C}{1-G}$
