Question

What is the value of b?
11+4b=8b-13
B=??
Help? :c

Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

\[11+4b=8b-13\] right?

Answer 3

1) subtract \(4b\) from both sides (now the b's are on the right)
2) add \(13\) to both sides, (now the numbers are on the left)
3) divide both sides by \(4\) to get \(b\)

Answer 4

4/4=1 and 8/4=2 .. Which one do I use?

Answer 5

lets do the steps in order

Answer 6

\[11+4b=8b-13\] subtract \(4b\) from both sides, what do you get?

Answer 7

11-4b? I'm sorry for being so dumb. I've never been good at math.. >.<

Answer 8

it is ok we do it slow

Answer 9

on the left you have \(4b\) and on the the right you have \(8b\)

Answer 10

if you subtract \(4b\) from both sides, on the left the \(b's\) will be gone since \(4b-4b=0\)

Answer 11

so it you start with \[11+4b=8b-13\] and subtract \(4b\) you get \[11+4b-4b=8b-4b-13\\
11=4b-13\] all the b's are on the right side now

Answer 12

so when i said "step one subtract \(4b\) from both sides" it turns \[11+4b=8b-13\] into \[11=4b-13\]
now we are ready for step 2

Answer 13

or i am ready
are you?

Answer 14

Yep

Answer 15

we got all the b's on the right, put the numbers on the left
on the right is \(-13\)
to get rid of that, add \(13\) to both sides
what do you get?

Answer 16

24?

Answer 17

yes !

Answer 18

well actually you get \[24=4b\] not "24"

Answer 19

now to get b alone, divide 24 by 4

Answer 20

6. c:

Answer 21

that is it

Answer 22

now it took three steps, lets write them again \[11+4b=8b-13\] subtract \(4b\)\[11=4b-13\] add 13\[24=4b\] divide by 4\[6=b\]

Answer 23

Mkay. Thanks.. :D
