Answer:

b = 11 / 12

Explanation:

2 / 3 = b - 1 / 4

1. add (1 / 4) on both sides, "b" can be by itself.

(2 / 3) + (1 / 4) = b - (1 / 4) + (1 / 4)

(2 / 3) + (1 / 4) = b

2. find the common denominator for (2 / 3) + (1 / 4).

3. The common denominator for (2 / 3) + (1 / 4) is "12".

4. So it will be (3 + 8) / 12, which is 11 / 12.

b = 11 / 12

*Since we can't divide 11 / 12, it will be the final answer.

b = 11 / 12
