Question 171249
Its probably the isolation of terms that is confusing
:
for you to solve for y in this you simply divide by b on both sides
:
{{{highlight(y=(x+a)/b)}}}now to isolate the terms you would distribute them
:
{{{highlight(y=x/b+a/b)}}} because the distributive property says
:
(1/b)(a+c)=a/b+c/b
