Answer:


  • \boxed{\sf{b=4.5}}

Explanation:

To find the value of variable, you have to isolate the term of b from one side of the equation.

b+1.5=6

First, you subtract by 1.5 from both sides.

→ b+1.5-1.5=6-1.5

Solve.

Subtract the numbers from left to right.

⇒ 6-1.5=4.5

⇒ b=4.5

  • Therefore, the correct answer is b=4.5.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
