I have to solve this for Y. Here are the steps that I took where did I go wrong.
\(100-y=\frac{100,000}{(100+x)}\)
Subtract 100 from both sides
\(-y=\frac{100,000}{(100+x)}-100\)
multiply both sides by -1
\(y=\frac{-100,000}{(100+x)}+100\)
The anser given is
\(y=100-\frac{100,000}{(100+x)}\)
Are these the same things if this were so then
7-6
would eauly
-7+6 which it does not
