QUESTION;

Find b :
a/m = c(1/x + b/y)

ANSWER:



a/m = c(1/x + b/y)


Divide both sides by c Because here 'c' is multilying with the other term)


==> a/cm = (c/c)(1/x + b/y)


==> a/cm = (1)(1/x + b/y)


==> a/cm = (1/x + b/y)


We can write it as,


a/cm = 1/x + b/y


Here we have to find out the valur of 'b', so shift all the terms except the term comtaining b to the other side.

==> a/cm -1/x = b/y

Now multiply both sides by 'y' ( because here b is divided by y )

==> y ( a/cm -1/x )= (y) b/y

==> ya/ cm -y/x = b


So the value of b = y(a/ cm -1/x )
