Question 1 Report

If \( \frac{x}{a+1} + \frac{y}{b} = 1 \). Make y the subject of the relation.

Answer Details
The equation xa+1 + yb = 1 can be rearranged to solve for y in terms of x. To do this, we can first isolate y on one side of the equation by subtracting xa+1 from both sides: yb = 1 - xa+1 Next, we can divide both sides by b: y = (1 - xa+1) / b Simplifying the expression on the right side, we can distribute the negative sign and factor out x: y = (1/b) - (x/b)(a+1) Therefore, the correct answer is a+1−x/b(a+1) or.
