How do you solve the equation 1over s equals 1 over b plus 1 over c?

What do you want it solved for ?
's' ? or 'b' ? or 'c' ?
Since this is the formula for the total effective resistance of two parallel resistors,
the inductance of two parallel coils, and the capacitance of two series capacitors,
as well as the "lensmaker's formula" that relates the image distance, object distance,
and focal length of a lens, it's probably the most useful to solve it for 's', and I will now
do so. I shall require total silence from members of the audience.
1/s = 1/b + 1/c
Multiply each side by 'bc':
bc/s = bc/b + bc/c
bc/s = c + b
Multiply each side by 's':
bc = s (c + b)
Divide each side by (c + b):
bc/(c+b) = s
This is the handy form that's easy to remember ... it's "the product over the sum".

Solve the equation four over nine times x equals?
(4/9) x = That's not an equation. If there were a number after the 'equals' sign, then we could calculate the value of 'x'. But as it is, there's no question there, so there's nothing to solve.
Can you solve for b in the equation 12 equals negative 4 over 2 plus b?
b = 14

Is 6 over 11 close to 0 or 1 or 1over 2?
it is closer to 1 over 2 (.5). 6 over 11 equals approximately .55
What is the answer to y equals twelve over x?
You cannot solve this single equation. You can either change the subject so that it gives x = 12/y or xy = 12, which is the equation of a rectangular hyperbola.
How do you solve for x in 5x plus y equals 10?
In order to solve for X, or find out what X equals, you need to get the X alone on one side of the equation. In this case, first you subtract the Y so that the equation becomes 5x=10-y. Then you divide both sides by 5. Now the equation is X=(10-y)/5 (or X equals the quantity of 10-y over 5).
