Answer:
b = 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 -b/3 = -5/2
im assuming we want to find b. therefore we want b = something. so because b is on top of a fraction right now, I will multiply both sides by 3 so -b is not on top of a fraction anymore.
6 -b = -15/2
we should get rid of the divided by 2 on the other side too, to make it easier. we can do this by multiplying 2 on both sides.
12 - 2b = -15
remember, we want to isolate b. so first we should get rid of the 12 next to the 2b. we can do this by subtracting 12 on both sides!
-2b = -27
finally, we can divide both sides by -2 and b will be isolated!
b = 13.5
ask me if you have anymore questions!
