Question

Solve 3-2/9b = 1/3b -7

Answer 1

3-2b/9 = b/3-7

3+7 = b/3+2b/9

10 = 5b/9

5b = 90

b= 90/5

b= 18

Answer 2

The value of the equation is 18

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`3-(2)/(9)b = (1)/(3)b -7`

Subtract 3 from both the sides.

`3-(2)/(9)b-3=(1)/(3)b-7-3`

`-(2)/(9)b=(1)/(3)b-10`

Subtract 1/3b from both sides.

`-(2)/(9)b-(1)/(3)b=(1)/(3)b-10-(1)/(3)b`

`-(5)/(9)b=-10`

Multiply both the sides by -9/5.

`}b=-10* (-9)/(5)`

`}b=18`

Hence, the value of the equation is 18
