solve for b

Question

r = 8 (b - 6)

Answer 1

To solve for b, we will first expand the bracket by distributing the 8:

r = 8b - 48

Next, we will isolate b by adding 48 to both sides of the equation:

r + 48 = 8b

Finally, we divide both sides by 8:

(b + 48)/8 = b

So the solution for b is:

b = (r + 48)/8
