Hi Paul! I took a look at the problem you posted and created a video that shows you how to solve the literal equation you asked for. I give you a few tips along the way and explain some key vocab terms like "isolating the variable" and "term". Hope you find this video helpful!

Edythe Cox says, "Solve for b" means get b alone on one side of the equation. In this problem that involves getting "+c/d" on the other side of the equation. We do that by doing the opposite of the "+" which is "-" and we subtract c/d from both sides of the equation. c/d minus c/d wipes away c/d from the right side, and on the left we get A - c/d. That's what b equals!09/20/19
