Question

4b/2 + 3 = 11 + b

It's amazing what one would forget in a year without a math class. If someone could show it well step-by-step, that would be ideal. Thanks!

Answer 1

clear out the fraction by multiplying it all by 2

Answer 2

i assume you are trying to solve for b?

Answer 3

another option is to see that 4/2 = 2 and go from that :)

Answer 4

when working with equations; always remember to do the same thing to each side in order to keep them balanced

Answer 5

I don't know why multiplying it all by two didn't cross my mind. I got:

\[4b + 6 = 22+ 2b\]
\[2b + 6 = 22\]
\[2b = 16\]
\[b = 8\]

Thank you much!

Answer 6

that looks to be good :)
