Question

Solve for b.
r = (b-5)m

Answer 1

Answer:

b=5m+r/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for b.

r=(b−5)(m)

Step 1: Flip the equation.

bm−5m=r

Step 2: Add 5m to both sides.

bm−5m+5m=r+5m

bm=5m+r

Step 3: Divide both sides by m.

bm/m=5m+r/m

b=5m+r/m

Answer:

b=5m+r/m

Answer 2

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

$r = (b - 5)m \\ \\ \frac{r}{m} = b - 5 \\ \\ \frac{r}{m} + 5 = b \\ \\ \frac{r + 5m}{m} = b \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{b = \frac{r + 5m}{m} }}$
