Q. Solve the following equation for b. Be sure to take into account whether a letter is capitalized or not.Fb−nb=DAnswer: b=
Combine like terms: Combine like terms that contain the variable b.Fb−nb can be combined because they are like terms. Combine Fb and −nb to get (F−n)b.
Isolate the variable: Isolate the variable b. To isolate b, divide both sides of the equation by (F−n). (F−n)(F−n)b=(F−n)D
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation.After dividing both sides by F−n, we get:b=F−nD
