Isolating the Vertical Offset Formula
A technician in a precision machining shop uses the formula to calculate the vertical offset () for a tool path relative to a known coordinate. After clearing the fraction and distributing the variable , the technician reaches the intermediate equation . Based on the standard algebraic procedure for this specific formula, state the final expression for once it is completely isolated.
