Answer:
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
