Question

b/-3+5=7   A. b=-2/3 B. b=-4 C. b=-36 D. b=-6

jhannybean · Answer

$$\frac{ b }{ -3+5 }=7$$ so what does -3 + 5 =?

jhannybean · Answer

First solve that. Then we will move onto the next step :)

zzr0ck3r · Answer

I think its (b/-3) + 5 = 7

jhannybean · Answer

oh -________________________- parenthesis would help sooooo much.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

yeah I don't know for sure...

jhannybean · Answer

Me neither....it could be either way.....

zzr0ck3r · Answer

just going by order of operations/what a computer would read from it.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

or calculator...

jhannybean · Answer

if it was $\large -(\frac{ b }{ 3 })+5 = 7$ the person would still need to know what (7-5) equals... and he/she is not answering my question....

lol

anonymous · Answer

Ah sorry I didn't know you guys answered so fast. -3+5 is 2 so...

zzr0ck3r · Answer

what is the original question? (b/-3) + 5 = 7 or b/(-3+5) = 7

jhannybean · Answer

^ ?

anonymous · Answer

(b/-3)+5=7

jhannybean · Answer

Darn it @zzr0ck3r  Nowi owe him $5.thanks @Zoobidoo :P jk.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

subtract 5 from both sides, then multiply by -3 on both sides.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

you are picking the thing apart so that you are left with b on one side and everything else on the other, so first get rid of the 5(subtract 5) then get rid of the -3(multiply by -3)

jhannybean · Answer

$$-(\frac{ b }{ 3 })+5 = 7$$ so now you have to evaluate b, that means taking all the numbers and putting them on the other side of b, so you get $$-(\frac{ b }{ 3 })= 2$$ and then multiply both sides by (-3) to get b
