Question

Solve ax + by = c, for b

Answer 1

Answer:

$b= \frac{c-ax}{y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the question by isolating the variable

Step 1: Subtract ax from both sides.

$ax+by=c\\\\ax+by-ax=c-ax\\\\by=-ax+c$

Step 2: Divide both sides by y.

$\frac{by}{y} = \frac{-ax+c}{y}\\\\\\b= \frac{-ax+c}{y}$

The answer is:

$b= \frac{c-ax}{y}$

Answer 2

Answer:

b=c-ax/y

Step-by-step explanation:

1) ax + by = c

-ax

2) by = c - ax

3) by/y = b and c - ax/y

4) b = c-ax/y
