if 3a+3(b+1)=c, what is b+1 in terms of a and c?
3a+3(b+1)=c
3(b+1) = c - 3a
b+1 = (c-3a)/3 or c/3 - 3
Extra credit: can you find the typo?
Yup, found it.
Rats!
Hope Frank finds it.
To find the value of b + 1 in terms of a and c, we need to isolate the term containing b in the given equation.
Let's simplify the equation step by step:
3a + 3(b + 1) = c
First, distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
3a + 3b + 3 = c
Next, rearrange the equation by grouping the terms with b:
3b = c - 3a - 3
Now, isolate b by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
b = (c - 3a - 3) / 3
Finally, we can rewrite b in terms of a and c:
b + 1 = [(c - 3a - 3) / 3] + 1
So, b + 1 is equal to [(c - 3a - 3) / 3] + 1 in terms of a and c.
