SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the algebraic manipulation required to rearrange the equation MwCw(Tc2-Tw1)=-MbCb(Tc2-Tb1) into the form MwCwTc2+MbCbTc2 = MwCwTw1+MbCbTb1. The key step involves expanding the first equation and simplifying the terms to isolate Tc2. This process is deemed straightforward, emphasizing the importance of understanding algebraic principles in calculus applications.

Hi,

Could someone show me the steps used to get from equation 1 to equation 2

Thanks

1.) MwCw(Tc2-Tw1)=-MbCb(Tc2-Tb1)

2.) MwCwTc2+MbCbTc2 = MwCwTw1+MbCbTb1

Try exanding the first equation out and seeing what you think should happen from there, it is quite a trivial step between. (Why is this in Calculus and Beyond?)
