Question

3 + 1/3 equals b - 23 State the problem

Answer 1

`b=(79)/(3)` or
`b=26.33`

Explanation:

Assuming the question to be finding the value of b.

`3+(1)/(3)=b-23`

Solution:

Rewrite the equation as.

`b-23=3+(1)/(3)`

first we solve right side of the equation.

`b-23=(3* 3+ 1)/(3)`

`b-23=(9+ 1)/(3)`

`b-23=(10)/(3)`

Add 23 both side of the equation.

`b-23+23=(10)/(3)+23`

`b=(10+23* 3)/(3)`

`b=(10+69)/(3)`

`b=(79)/(3)`

or

`b=26.33`

Therefore, the value of
`b=(79)/(3)` or
`b=26.33`
