Question

How would you solve it. I know the answer already. my problem working it out.

4b/2 + 3 = 11 + b.

Answer 1

How to solve an equation.

1. Simplify any parentheses using the distributive property if needed.
2. Combine like terms if needed.
3. Use the addition principle of equality if needed.
4. Use the multiplication or division principle of equality if needed.


`(4b)/(2) + 3 = 11 + b`
2b + 3 = 11 + b
b + 3 = 11 <-- Subtract b from each side
b = 8 <-- Subtract 3 from each side

So, b is equal to 8.

Answer 2

-3 to both sides
4b/2 = 8 +b

multiply both sides by two
(4b/2 = 8 + b) X2 = 4b = 16+2b

subtract 2b from both sides
2b = 16

divide both sides by 2
b=8
