Question

Solve b=y-my for y.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = $\frac{b}{1-m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get y by itself, we need to pull y out of 1 and m on the right side.

b = y(1 - m) since y(1 - m) is the same as y - my.

Once we have pulled y out of 1 and m, we can divide both sides by 1 - m

$\frac{b}{1 - m}$ = $\frac{y(1 - m)}{1 - m}$

We can cancel out the 1 - m on the right side since (1 - m) / (1 - m) = 1

Finally we get our answer:

$\frac{b}{1-m}$ = y

This is the same as y = $\frac{b}{1-m}$
