Enter literal equation:

Enter variable to solve for:

Solve the following literal equation for b
2z + 9q = 3b + 4c - 9d

Isolate b terms

Add - 4c + 9d to both sides
2z + 9q - 4c + 9d = 3b + 4c - 9d - 4c + 9d
3b = 2z + 9q - 4c + 9d

Divide each side by 3

3b
3
=
  
2z + 9q - 4c + 9d
3

b  =  2z + 9q - 4c + 9d
  3
