Question

PLEASE HELP! and also please show your work!!

Answer 1

b = 12

Explanation:

2/3 b - 1/3 b + 12 = 16

or, 2b/3 - b/3 + 12 = 16

or, 2b -b/ 3 + 12 = 16

or, 2b - b = 16 - 12

or, b = 4 × 3

therefore, b = 12

Answer 2

Answer: d) b = 12

2/3.b - 1/3.b + 12 = 16

⇔ 1/3. b = 16 - 12

⇔ 1/3.b = 4

⇔ b = 4.3 = 12
