Explanation:

3 + 2/5 b =11 - 2/5 b (this is the given question is it?)

2/5 b + 2/5 b= 11 - 3 (like terms together, you transpose -2/5b to the other side as shown.)

2b+2b = 8 ( at that stage you would find t

5 hat 5 is the common value to go into 5 itself, as shown.

4b = 8 ( you just add 2b + 2b to have 4b)

5

4b = 8 ( at that point you cross multiply

5 1 as shown)

4b = 8 × 5 ( simple math as shown)

4b = 40 ( you multiply 8 × 5 to obtain 40)

b =10 you can prove that. Thank you.

Answer:

8

Explanation:

To solve this, you can add 2/5 b to both sides of the equation. You now have 3 + 5/5 (or 1) b = 11. => 3 + b = 11 => Now, subtract 3 from both sides, and you have b = 11 - 3, and then b = 8.
