Question

Someone please help me answer Number 14, PLEASE!

Answer 1

• b = 240

Step-by-step Solution:

• -17 + b/8 = 13
• => b/8 = 13 + 17
• => b/8 = 30
• => 8 x b/8 = 30 x 8
• => b = 240

Hence, the value of b is 240.

Answer 2

b=240

Explanation:

We need to find b. In order to this, we must isolate b.

`-17+(b)/(8)=13`

Add 17 to both sides

`(b)/(8)=30`

Multiply both sides by 8 to remove the fraction

`b=240`
