Q. For a given input value a, the function f outputs a value b to satisfy the following equation.−3a+6b=a+4bWrite a formula for f(a) in terms of a.f(a)=□
Isolate b on one side: To solve for b in terms of a, we need to isolate b on one side of the equation. Let's start by moving all terms involving b to one side and all terms involving a to the other side.−3a+6b−4b=a
Combine like terms: Combine like terms to simplify the equation. −3a+2b=a
Move term involving : Now, move the term involving on the left side to the right side by adding to both sides of the equation.\newline222b = a + 333a
Combine terms involving a: Combine the terms on the right side to get a single term involving a.\newline222b = 444a
Divide both sides: Divide both sides by 222 to solve for bbb.\newlineb=4a2b = \frac{4a}{2}b=24a
Simplify the formula: Simplify the right side to get the final formula for bbb in terms of aaa.\newlineb=2ab = 2ab=2a
