Question

Solve for b.
7b = 35

Answer 1

b = 5

Explanation:

to get b, you see that is multiplied by 7. to get rid of the 7, you have to divide both sides by 7. this is because 7/7 = 1, so you would just have b. then, 35/7 equals 5, and it is on the other side of the equal sign, so you would have b = 5.

Answer 2

`b = 5`

Explanation:

`7b = 35 \\ (7b)/(7) = (35)/(7) \\ b = 5`
