p=a+b+c solve for b

geerky42 (geerky42):

Try to subtract both sides by a and c.

geerky42 (geerky42):

\[p=a+b+c\\~\\p\color{red}{-a-c}=a+b+c\color{red}{-a-c}\\~\\p-a-c = \cancel{a}+b+\cancel{c}-\cancel{a}-\cancel{c}\\~\\\boxed{b=p-a-c}\]

geerky42 (geerky42):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
