Now what do you do? (Edit: I'm a retard. Of course 12.5CV - 1CV = 11.5CV . What the fuck? I have been out of school WAAAY too long!)
If I were solving it I'd do this:
12.5 = (611.66 + CV)/CV
12.5 = (611.66 + CV) * 1/CV ............. (multiply by reciprocal instead of dividing)
12.5 = 611.66/CV + CV/CV ................ (distribute)
12.5 = 611.66/CV + 1 ......................... (simplify)
12.5 - 1 = 611.66/CV .......................... (subtract 1 from both sides)
11.5 = 611.66/CV ............................... (simplify)
11.5 * CV = 611.66 ............................. (multiply both sides by CV)
CV = 611.66/11.5 ............................... (divide both sides by 11.5)
CV = 53.1878 ...................................... (simplify)
Which I guess is exactly what you got. I guess the missing steps just threw me off.
I didn't learn that voodoo math you did in school. I was taught to show my work. Ignore me!
I guess I learnt Voodoo math in Jamaica too Derm... what a waste of lines
