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
