Question

Solve for b in the literal equation y = 17x + 17b

Answer 1

Answer:

b= -x+ y/17

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 17x from both sides of the equation in order to isolate b on one side.

y -17x= 17b

2. Divide every term by 17 in order to isolate b from any coefficients.

y/17 -17x/17 = 17b/17

3. Simplify

b= -x+y/17
