Solve for b r=(b-5)m

$r = (b - 5) m$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $(b - 5) m = r$ .

$(b - 5) m = r$

Step 2

Divide each term in $(b - 5) m = r$ by $m$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $(b - 5) m = r$ by $m$ .

$\frac{(b - 5) m}{m} = \frac{r}{m}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $m$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{(b - 5) m}{m} = \frac{r}{m}$

Divide $b - 5$ by $1$ .

$b - 5 = \frac{r}{m}$

Step 3

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$b = \frac{r}{m} + 5$
