I don't understand what the problem is. There is no equal sign, so this is not an equation. what do you need to do?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh so sorry =3
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Ok. Let me write it again.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Solve for B:
\(\large \dfrac{1}{7}(B + 35) = 3\)

Is that the problem?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Ok. You have a multiplication of 1/7 on the left side that we need to get rid of.
To get rid of a multiplication, you multiply by its reciprocal.
The reciprocal of 1/7 is 7, so we multiply both sides by 7.
Can you do that and show what you get?
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
\(\large 7 \times \dfrac{1}{7}(B + 35) = 7 \times 3\)
What do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7b and 245

No.
On the let side, what is 7 * 1/7?
The whole idea of multiplying both sides by 7 is to get rid of 1/7 on the left side.
What is 7 * 1/7?
