Question

Ay = b - 2a
how do i solve this step by step?

Answer 1

a = b/(y + 2)

Explanation:

Solve for a:

a y = b - 2 a

Hint: | Isolate a to the left hand side.

Add 2 a to both sides:

a (y + 2) = b

Hint: | Solve for a.

Divide both sides by y + 2:

Answer: a = b/(y + 2)

Answer 2

`a = (b)/(2+ y)`

Explanation:

Given

`ay = b- 2a`

Required

Solve for a

`ay = b- 2a`

Add 2a to both sides

`2a + ay = b- 2a + 2a`

`2a + ay = b`

Factorize

`a(2 + y)= b`

Divide through by 2 + y

`a = (b)/(2+ y)`
