Question

If 15-6/3b =10, then b=

Answer 1

b = 2/5 = 0.4

Explanation:

We know that:

`15 - (6)/(3*b) = 10`

We want to find the value of b, then we need to isolate b in one side of the equation.

First, let's subtract 15 in both sides of the equation so we get:

`- (6)/(3*b) = 10 - 15 = -5`

Now we can multiply both sides by 3*b, so we get:

`- 6 = -5*3*b = -15*b`

Now we can divide both sides by -15:

`-6/-15 = b`

Then:

b = 6/15 = 2/5

b = 2/5 = 0.4
