Question

3=3/4(b-8)
Please help me thank you!

Answer 1

So you need to isolate/get "b" by itself in the equation:

`3=(3)/(4)(b-8)` Distribute/multiply 3/4 into (b - 8)

`3=((3)/(4)(b))+((3)/(4)(-8))`

`3=((3)/(4) b)+(-6)` Don't know which goes into the parentheses....think the one above makes more sense...maybe....sorry

`3=(3)/(4) b-6` Add 6 on both sides

`9=(3)/(4) b` Multiply the reciprocal of 3/4 to get rid of the fraction and get b by itself, which would be 4/3 [basically flipping the fraction or switching the numerator and the denominator]

`(36)/(3) =b` Simplify the fraction

12 = b
