Exercise 35 Page 267

Use the Properties of Equality to isolate b on one side of the given literal equation.

C

Practice makes perfect

To solve the given literal equation for b, we will use the Properties of Equality to apply inverse operations on the equation. Remember, only like terms can be combined.

- ax+by^2=c

LHS+ax=RHS+ax

by^2=c+ax

.LHS /y^2.=.RHS /y^2.

b=c+ax/y^2

Our answer corresponds to option C.
