Question

3b-4/2 = c, solve for b

Answer 1

Greetings!

"Solve for b"...


`3b-4/2 = c`

`3b-2= c`\
Add 2 to both sides.

`(3b-2)+2=(c)+2`
Simplify.

`3b=c+2`
Divide both sides by 3.

`(3b)/3=(c+2)/3`
Simplify.

`b=1/3c+2/3`

The answer would be: b=1/3c+2/3

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer: The required solution for b is
`b=(2c+4)/(3).`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation for b :

`(3b-4)/(2)=c~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

To solve the given equation for b, we must take b on one side of the equation and all other terms on the other side.

From equation (i), we get

`(3b-4)/(2)=c\\\\\Rightarrow 3b-4=2c\\\\\Rightarrow 3b=2c+4\\\\\Rightarrow b=(2c+4)/(3).`

Thus, the required solution for b is
`b=(2c+4)/(3).`
