b-4/6 = b/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know.. I keep getting confused by his problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[b - \frac{ 4 }{ 6 } = \frac{ b }{ 2 }\] Simplify them by both sides and your answer will be\[b -\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }=\frac{ b }{ 2 }\] Then Simplifying them again your true answer will be \[b=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\] Hope i helped!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its b and -4 over 6 though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah it's b-4 over 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be \[(b-4)/6=b/2\] Then multiply both sides by 6 \[b-4=3b\] Subtact b from both sides \[-4=2b\] Divide both sides by 2 and you have... \[-2=b\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you so much!(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem, I messed up because i divided by 2 instead of 6 on the right side the first time, I'm just glad I could fix it and help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
