Question

Solve the following: If 7a – 4b = 3, then b =

Answer 1

b = (7a - 3)/4

Explanation:

7a - 4b = 3

=> -4b = 3 - 7a

=> b = (3 - 7a)/(-4)

=> b = -(3 - 7a)/4

=> b = (-3 + 7a)/4

=> b = (7a - 3)/4

Answer 2

D (7a-3)/4

Explanation:

7a – 4b = 3

Subtract 7a from each side

7a-7a – 4b = 3-7a

-4b = 3 -7a

Divide by -4

-4b/-4 = (3-7a)/-4

b = (7a-3)/4
