Question

Solve for y: x=3(y-b)

Answer 1

step by step:

(goal is to isolate y)
x=3(y-b)
(distribute b)
x=3y-3b
(add 3b to both sides)
x+3b=3y
(divide both sides by 3)
(x+b)/3=y
(flip it so y is on the left)
y=(x+b)/3

ANSWER:


y=(x+b)/3

Answer 2

Explanation:

x=3(y-b)

or x=3y-3b

3y=x+3b

`y=(x+3b)/(3)`
