What is the solution of the equation? b+6/5=10 A. 44 B. –4 C. 56 D. 8 i chose b and it was wrong hmmmm

OpenStudy (dariyana):

i dont know this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we dont give answers. just guide as to how to solve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well can you show me how to solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (dariyana):

he wasnt asking for the answer he wanted to know if the answer was right or not he didnt say give me the answer ... just saying @hal_stirrup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first . the aim is to put the number in one side and the letter in other. using the operations. as so:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[b+(6/5)=10 \] stars with removing the fraction to the other side. by -6/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now we can rewrite it as \[b=10-6/5\] and finding the common denominator of 10−6/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you see that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you there @daboss33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now you have numbers in one side and letter in other and your done!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 8 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the closest number is 8 to your answer so that right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the Exact result is 44/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you just confused me cause you put 44 and i got 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

44/5=8.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they rounder it to the nearest one. thats why they put 8 as one of answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it wouldnt be 8 it would be 44??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b=8 or ---------------the Exact results b=8.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO

OpenStudy (anonymous):
