Question

Solve the following equation for b. Be sure to take into account whether a letter is capitalized or not.

t+1/2b=Y

Answer 1

`\\ \sf\longmapsto t+(1)/(2)b=Y`

• take t right side

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (1)/(2)b=Y-t`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (b)/(2)=Y-t`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto b=2(Y-t)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto b=2Y-2t`

Answer 2

• b = 2(Y - t)

Explanation:

Given:

• t + 1/2b = Y

Isolate b:

• 1/2b = Y - t

Find b:

• b = 2(Y - t)
