Question

Solve the equation

-3 2/3+b = 8 1/5

B= 5 3/5
B= 4 4/5
B= 11 3/5
B= 11 1/5

Answer 1

11 13/15

Explanation:

-3 2/3+b = 8 1/5

Add 3 2/3 to each side

-3 2/3 + 3 2/3+b = 8 1/5+ 3 2/3

b = 8 1/5 + 3 2/3

We need to get a common denominator of 15

8 1/5 = 8 3/15

3 2/3 = 3 10/15

----------------

11 13/15
