Solve for a b(a+f)=M

$b (a + f) = M$

Step 1

Divide each term in $b (a + f) = M$ by $b$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $b (a + f) = M$ by $b$ .

$\frac{b (a + f)}{b} = \frac{M}{b}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $b$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{b (a + f)}{b} = \frac{M}{b}$

Divide $a + f$ by $1$ .

$a + f = \frac{M}{b}$

Step 2

Subtract $f$ from both sides of the equation.

$a = \frac{M}{b} - f$
