Question

Solve for B
R=x(A+B)

I am super confused, please help! (:

Answer 1

@abigailsimmons

Answer 2

You want to get the term that contains B isolated on one side of the equation.

Here we start by determining which term contains B

Answer 3

What do you mean, @bibby ? I have had these types of problems before but I really don't understand this one

Answer 4

if we were solving for B
A+B=C
we'd subtract A from both sides to get B alone

here we have \(R=x(A+B)\) now we have to divide both sides by x to get (A+B) alone (the term that contains B)
\(\large \frac{R}{X}=A+B\)

Answer 5

Ohhhh...that starts to make snese... I think i got it

Answer 6

x(A+B) = x* (A+B)
because the A+B is in parentheses it's easier to think of it as a single entity
then we can do the opposite of division to both sides.

so what do you think the answer is?

Answer 7

The answer would be B=(R-Ax)/x

Answer 8

Weird answer. what I did was
\(R=x(A+B)\) divide both sides by x

\(\huge \frac{R}{x}=\frac{}{\cancel{x}}\cancel{x}(A+B)\)

\(\huge \frac{R}{x}-A=(B)\) subtract both sides by a

Answer 9

I don't see the point in getting A in terms of x, although as far as I can tell your answer is right
