Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
36 = byx
Solving
36 = bxy
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1bxy' to each side of the equation.
36 + -1bxy = bxy + -1bxy
Combine like terms: bxy + -1bxy = 0
36 + -1bxy = 0
Add '-36' to each side of the equation.
36 + -36 + -1bxy = 0 + -36
Combine like terms: 36 + -36 = 0
0 + -1bxy = 0 + -36
-1bxy = 0 + -36
Combine like terms: 0 + -36 = -36
-1bxy = -36
Divide each side by '-1xy'.
b = 36x-1y-1
Simplifying
b = 36x-1y-1
