$r = (b - 1) m$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $(b - 1) m = r$ .

$(b - 1) m = r$

Step 2

Divide each term in $(b - 1) m = r$ by $m$ and simplify.

Step 2.1

Divide each term in $(b - 1) m = r$ by $m$ .

$\frac{(b - 1) m}{m} = \frac{r}{m}$

Step 2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{(b - 1) m}{m} = \frac{r}{m}$

Step 2.2.1.2

Divide $b - 1$ by $1$ .

$b - 1 = \frac{r}{m}$

Step 3

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$b = \frac{r}{m} + 1$
