Question 25169: This is my question.
I am not clear on how to solve this equation. From clearing the fractions to solving for b. Could you please help me. And give me a step by step solution to this problem? Thank you
1/a + 1/b = c for b

ok, solving for b
so get all b terms on 1 side by subtracting 1/a from both sides
-->> 1/b = c - 1/a
next I take the inverse of both sides
-->> b = 1/(c-1/a)
after multiplying by a/a
-->> b = a/(ac-1)
