Steps to solve for b:

ab + c = d

~Subtract c to both sides

ab + c - c = d - c

~Simplify

ab = d - c

~Divide a to both sides

ab/a = d-c/a

~Simplify

b = d-c/a

Best of Luck!

Answer:

b = (d-c)/a

Explanation:

ab + c = d

Subtract c from each side

ab +c-c=d-c

ab = d-c

Divide each side by a

ab/a = (d-c)/a

b = (d-c)/a
