Question

Solve for b in the literal equation y = 11x + 11b

Answer 1

b = y/11 -x

Explanation:

`y = 11x + 11b\\Move \: 11x\:to\:the \:left\:and\:change\:its\:sign\\\\y -11x =11b\\\\Divide\:both\:sides\:of\:the\:equation\:by\: 11\\(y)/(11) -(11x)/(11) = (11b)/(11) \\y/11 -x =b\\\\b = (y)/(11) - x`

Answer 2
