Question

find a

Answer 1

\[y = \frac{ 3(a-2) }{ 1-b }\]

Answer 2

y=3a-6/1-b

Answer 3

Mutltiply both sides by (1-b) first.

Answer 4

multiply? ummm can u show?

Answer 5

\[\Large y(1-b) = \frac{ 3(a-2) }{ (1-b) }* (1-b)\]

Answer 6

;/ i still dont get it ;/

Answer 7

We're trying to find a... that's the first step, cancel off the 1-b.

Answer 8

We want to get a alone.

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

y=3a-6/1-b
y(1-b)=3a-6/1-b(1-b)
y-b=3a-6

Answer 11

^you should def use latex and not write math that way...

Answer 12

I meant y-yb=3a-6

Answer 13

\[y-yb=3a-6\]

Answer 14

haha is that a little clearer^

Answer 15

y(1-b)=3a-6/1-b(1-b)

that's the part that you really need to write in latex (the way i already did :P )

Answer 16

its all the same... just harder to see it the way i wrote it

Answer 17

^very hard to see because it's not clear w/o brackets\[\Large y(1-b) = \frac{ 3(a-2) }{ (1-b) }* (1-b)\] the 1-b on the right cancels off

\[\Large y(1-b) = 3(a-2)\]
now you can distribute as @hello1213 did

Answer 18

y is it y(1-b) at the beginning?

Answer 19

multiply both sides by 1-b

Answer 20

Mutltiply both sides by (1-b) first. < my first post :P
