Help!!!!! 2 + 11b= 8b + 15
Group like terms first. meaning subtract 2 from both sides and sub tract 8b from both sides.
Then solve for b
i got 13 and 3
if you do the same thing to both sides of an equation, the equation essentially doesnt change it just was manipulated a bit.
3b = 13, next step is to divide both sides by 3 to get b by itself
11b - 8b = 15 - 2 3b = 13 b = 13 / 3 b =4.33
3/3 = 1 so your left with b = ?
so i divide 3 by 13 which is a fraction 4 1/3
13 by 3, but yes you got the correct answer
thanks so much everyone (: These problems are so confusing!!!!
thats equal. . . 13 / 3 = 4 1/3 thats improper and proper fraction . try to review primary topics i think grade 1?
@depads don't put people down. Sometimes things don't click and we need to help them through it not just tell them the answer.
