Question

5/b= 3/b-6

first i cross multiplied as i’m supposed to go and got the answer
5b-30=3b
what steps are next?

Answer 1

It seems here that there are steps already solved for. Now that we have the equation 5b - 30 = 3b, we can subtract 5b on both sides. This would look like:

-30 = -2b

Let’s divide both sides by the coefficient now to solve for b:

-30 / -2 = 15

Therefore,

b = 15
