Solve for B 8x+By=60

$8 x + B y = 60$

Step 1

Subtract $8 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$B y = 60 - 8 x$

Step 2

Divide each term in $B y = 60 - 8 x$ by $y$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $B y = 60 - 8 x$ by $y$ .

$\frac{B y}{y} = \frac{60}{y} + \frac{- 8 x}{y}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $y$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{B y}{y} = \frac{60}{y} + \frac{- 8 x}{y}$

Divide $B$ by $1$ .

$B = \frac{60}{y} + \frac{- 8 x}{y}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$B = \frac{60}{y} - \frac{8 x}{y}$
