3.2 = 4/5(b - 5)

3.2 = (4/5 × b) + (4/5 × -5)

3.2 = 4/5b - 4

3.2 + 4 = 4/5b

5/4 × 7.2 = b

9 = b

Answer:

Follow the steps I did in the explanation.

Explanation:

It says to evaluate the equation :-

3.2 = 4/5(b - 5)

3.2 = (4/5 × b) + (4/5 × -5)

3.2 = 4/5b - 4

3.2 + 4 = 4/5b

5/4 × 7.2 = b

9 = b

Hope this helps, thank you :) !!
