\[4 = -\frac 32 (3) + b\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

is that it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. i've gotten up to there but I don't understand how to find b.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how about muliplying \[-\frac 32 \times 3\] first?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9/2?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right

OpenStudy (compassionate):

You need to do the opposite and change sides on each side to isolate b.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[4 = -\frac 92 + b\] now add \(\frac 92\) to both sides \[4 + \frac 92 = -\frac 92 + \frac 92 + b\] got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O_O

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

lol that right side is just 0 dont be intimidated

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i just showed it step-by-step

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[4 + \frac 92 = b\] now do you get it?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Calc, what is \[9/2 - 9/2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0...

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Okay, so what are you left with?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Igb, how do you put a number over a number? I can't find that option in the equation editor.

OpenStudy (compassionate):
