Solve for B. 13+6-3x=4b
@Qwertty123
Combine like terms 13 + 6 = ?
Yes you would want to Combine like terms: 13 + 6 =?
19
alright so we have 19 - 3x = 4b
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Now what do you do to get b by itself?
add -4?
yes, you now add '-4b' to each side of the equation. 19 + -4b + -3x = 4b + -4b
Combine like terms: 4b + -4b =?
0
yes, 19 + -4b + -3x = 0
add -19?
Yes! Add '-19' to each side of the equation. 19 + -4b + -19 + -3x = 0 + -19 Reorder the terms: 19 + -19 + -4b + -3x = 0 + -19 Combine like terms: 19 + -19 =?
0
yes okay so it looks like this after we... Combine like terms: 19 + -19 = 0 0 + -4b + -3x = 0 + -19 -4b + -3x = 0 + -19 Combine like terms: 0 + -19 = ?
-19
so now would you add 3?
yes! Now Add '3x' to each side of the equation. -4b + -3x + 3x = -19 + 3x Combine like terms: -3x + 3x =?
0
yes -4b + 0 = -19 + 3x -4b = -19 + 3x
DIVIDE -4?
yes, Divide each side by '-4'. What do you get?
Once you have a solution, you might want to determine whether there's a quicker way to solve this equation for b. If 13+6-3x=4b, then 19-3x=4b. Must enlose that "19-3x) within parentheses. Then divide that quantity (within parentheses) by 4. Done.
Thanks Mathmale! :3
4.75 + -0.75x
yes
