1/2(b-3)=5/2

Answer 1

b = 8

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• 
  `(1)/(2)(b) + (1)/(2)(-3) = (5)/(2)`
• 
  `(1)/(2)b - (3)/(2) = (5)/(2)`

Step 2: Add 3/2 to both sides.

• 
  `(1)/(2)b - (3)/(2) + (3)/(2) = (5)/(2) + (3)/(2)`
• 
  `(1)/(2)b = 4`

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2.

• 
  `(1)/(2)b * 2 = 4 * 2`
• 
  `b = 8`
