Q. Solve the following equation for b. Be sure to take into account whether a letter is capitalized or not.fb−hb=DAnswer: b=
Identify Variable Terms: Identify the terms in the equation that contain the variable b. In the equation fb−hb=D, both fb and hb contain the variable b.
Factor Out Common Factor: Factor out b from the terms fb and hb. We can factor b out as a common factor from both terms to get b(f−h)=D.
Solve for b: Solve for b by dividing both sides of the equation by (f−h).To isolate b, we divide both sides by (f−h), which gives us b=(f−h)D.
Check for Division Error: Check for any potential division by zero error.We must ensure that f−h is not equal to zero, as division by zero is undefined. If f−h=0, the equation has no solution for b.
