#a# is an acceleration, #b# is a distance / length, and #c# is a duration / time quantity

Explanation:

Since #at + b/(t+c) = v#,

#at# and #b/(t+c)# must be velocities as well

Since #a*t# is a velocity, and #t# is time, #a# must be velocity / time, or acceleration

In order for one to be able to add #c# to #t#, a duration or time quantity, #c# must also be a duration or time quantity

In order for #b/(t+c)# to be a velocity, with #t+c# being a time quantity, b must be a velocity * time, or displacement (or distance) quantity
