Solve for B in the literal equation Ax+By=C

Answer 1

Alternatively,

Ax +By = C

Any sign that crosses over equal(=) signs always change

In this case, Ax crosses over to C

By = C - Ax

To eliminate y from By, then

By/y = (C - Ax) /y

y cancel out y on the left side

B = (C - Ax) /y

Answer 2

Hey there! I'd love to help you out...

To solve for be, we first need to move Ax to the other side. Since it's positive, we will subtract it from both sides:

Ax + By = C

-Ax -Ax

By = C - AX

Now, to get rid of the y attached to the B we will divide both sides by y:

By = C - Ax

y

B = C - Ax

y
