Question

5. Solve s = n(a + 1) for a
(please help i forgot how to solve with the parenthesis)

Answer 1

Answer:

a = s/n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

s = n(a + 1)

(switch the sides of the equation)

n(a + 1) = s

(now, divide both sides by n)

n(a + 1) = s

/n            /n

-----------------

a + 1 = s/n

  -1      -1                 (subtract both sides by 1 now)

------------------

a = s/n - 1

Answer 2

Answer:

a = s/n - 1, hope you get it right
