Question

Algebra:
a(3b-1)=2b+2
Solve for b

Answer 1

b = 2+a/ 3a-2

Explanation:

Answer 2

b =
`(3ab - a - 2)/(2)`

Explanation:

We have an algebraic expression and are asked to solve for b.

a(3b - 1) = 2b + 2

To solve we need to isolate b :

Distribute :

(a(3b) - a(1)) = 2b + 2

3ab - a = 2b + 2

2b + 2 = 3ab - a

Subtract 2 from both sides :

2b = 3ab - a - 2

Divide 2 from both sides :

b =
`(3ab - a - 2)/(2)`
