SOLUTION: a+b=c for b The instructions are solve for the variable specified. Assume domains inclue only values that give nonzero denominators. I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

a+b=c for b
The instructions are solve for the variable specified. Assume domains inclue only values that give nonzero denominators.
-------
a + b = c
Subtract "a" from both sides of the equation to get:
b = c - a

The instructions are solve for the variable specified. Assume domains inclue only values that give nonzero denominators.
---------
Solve for b means get b on one side of the equal sign by itself.
a+b=c for b
Subtract a from both sides.
b = c-a
That's all there is to it.
There are no denominators, so that doesn't matter.
----------
b = c-a
