Solve -2P_{b}+36P_{p}=98

$$- 2 P _ { b } + 36 P _ { p } = 98$$

Solve for P_b

$$P_{b}=18P_{p}-49$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 36P_{p} from both sides.

$$-2P_{b}=98-36P_{p}$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-2P_{b}}{-2}=\frac{98-36P_{p}}{-2}$$

Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.

$$P_{b}=\frac{98-36P_{p}}{-2}$$

Divide 98-36P_{p} by -2.

$$P_{b}=18P_{p}-49$$

Solve for P_p

$$P_{p}=\frac{P_{b}+49}{18}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 2P_{b} to both sides.

$$36P_{p}=98+2P_{b}$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$36P_{p}=2P_{b}+98$$

Divide both sides by 36.

$$\frac{36P_{p}}{36}=\frac{2P_{b}+98}{36}$$

Dividing by 36 undoes the multiplication by 36.

$$P_{p}=\frac{2P_{b}+98}{36}$$

Divide 98+2P_{b} by 36.

$$P_{p}=\frac{P_{b}+49}{18}$$
