Question

A real world situation that can be model with 3b - 5=22

Answer 1

Jon had put $5 in the bank. He was getting Interest from the bank (the bank was paying him the longer he kept his money in the bank) it was $3. Some time went by and he now had $22.

b = 9 (HE GOT $9 A WEEK! BUT YOU TAKE AWAY 5 BECAUSE HE PUT THAT MONEY IN NOT THE BANK)

Answer 2

First add plus 5 to -5 and 22. Then -5 cancels outdo now u have 3b=27. Divide 3 to 3b and 27. Then you will have b=9
