Question

How would I go about solving this equation?

(m+5)/b = (q+3) + (r - 1)

The idea is that you can write a quotient like this:

m/b = q + r

And the question is to find the values possible for b and m, that if you increment m by 5 the quotient increments by 3 and the rest diminishes by 1

Answer 1

\[\frac{ m+5 }{ b } = q + 3 + r - 1\]
