Question

How do you solve for b given `h = -16t^2 + b`?

Answer 1

See the solution process below:

Explanation:

Add `color(red)(16t^2)` to each side of the equation to solve for `b` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(16t^2) + h = color(red)(16t^2) - 16t^2 + b`

`16t^2 + h = 0 + b`

`16t^2 + h = b`

`b = 16t^2 + h`
