Question

Solve b=y-my for y.

Answer 1

y =
`(b)/(1-m)`

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

`(b)/(1 - m)` =
`(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:

`(b)/(1-m)` = y

This is the same as y =
`(b)/(1-m)`
