Answer:

[tex]b= \frac{c-ax}{y}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the question by isolating the variable

Step 1: Subtract ax from both sides.

[tex]ax+by=c\\\\ax+by-ax=c-ax\\\\by=-ax+c[/tex]

Step 2: Divide both sides by y.

[tex]\frac{by}{y} = \frac{-ax+c}{y}\\\\\\b= \frac{-ax+c}{y}[/tex]

The answer is:

[tex]b= \frac{c-ax}{y}[/tex]
