Hey, Thanks all for verifying that it was indeed correct. The problem ended up being my not plugging in the true values. It didn't actually work 100% correctly the first way (which I didn't notice at first so I thought the alternate equation was to blame). I solved that issue and now the equati

> But that doesn't work... if that is of any help, i came up with the same result after solving it exactly like you did, without reading your result first. that doesn't make it ricght, of course, but i've made another test and the odds are one in a million that we're both wrong: var y:Number = Ma

Hey everyone, My algebra seems to be failing me. I need some help here. Here's my equation: c = ((y - s) / (w - b - s)) * i; I need to solve for y when I have c. I wrote it out on paper and I came up with: y = ((c / i) * (w - b - s)) + s; But that doesn't work... My logic: c = ((y - s) / (w
