♡ The Explanation/Step-By-Step ♡

・1/7 = 90/91 + B

Switch sides!

90/91 + B = 1/7

Subtract 90/91 from both sides!

90/91 + B - 90/91 = 1/7 - 90/91

Simplify!

90/91 + B - 90/91 : B

90/91 + B - 90/91

90/91 - 90/91 = 0

= B

Simplify!

1/7 - 90/91 : -11/13

1/7 - 90/91

= 13/91 - 90/91

Combine the fractions!

= 13 - 90 over 91

Subtract the numbers! : 13 - 90 = -77

= -77/91

Apply the fraction rule! : -a/b = -a/b

= -77/91

Cancel the common factor! : 7

= -11/13

B = -11/13
