Quandaries and Queries
 

 

I have been trying to figure out the answer to this probelm for 2 days. I was provide an answer but I do not see how it could be correct.

The problem is:

QT - X
________ + H = HT
QS

The answer I was provided on the answer sheet is:

Q= HT + X
_______
T + SH

I can not figure how to solve the problem and verify if the answer that was provided is correct or not. Could you please assist me in understanding the steps in solving this problem.

Thank You

Hi Anwaar,

I also don't get the same answer as is on the sheet provided. I first multiplied both sides of the equation by QS to get

QT - X + HQS = HTQS

Now add X to both sides and subtract HTQS to both sides

QT + HQS - HTQS = X

Hence

Q = X/T + HS - HTS
