Question 163096: Solve for the indicated letter.
a=3b, for b
The solution is b= ____
Answer by joecbaseball(37) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to get b by itself, so, since b is multiplied by 3, you must do the reverse operation of multiplication. Also, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do to the other side.
So, here, we would divide both sides by 3, which gives us:
b = a/3.
That is your answer.
Good luck !
