Question

2-b/3= -5/2 if you guys can help me thank you very much.

Answer 1

b = 13.5

Explanation:

• 2-b/3 = -5.2
• Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2
• 12 - 2b = -15
• Subtract 12 from both sides
• -2b = -15 - 12
• Subtract 12 from -15 to get -27
• -2b = -27
• Divide both sides by -2
• b = -27/-2
• You can simplify -27/-2 by dropping off the negative sings making it
• b = 27/2
• Divide 27/2 to get
• 13.5
• Or you can just simplify 27/2 to
• 13 1/2

There are different ways you can solve this equation. Let me know if you'd like to know a different way.
