Rearrange the equation so b is the independent variable.

Question

4a+b = -52

Answer 1

To rearrange the equation so that b is the independent variable, we need to isolate b on one side of the equation.

Subtract 4a from both sides:

b = -52 - 4a

Thus, the rearranged equation with b as the independent variable is b = -52 - 4a.
