Question

How do I solve this equation ???

Answer 1

To solve for the variable
`b` , we have to make it alone. The first thing we do is add
`6.5` to both sides of the equation:

`13.7b-6.5+6.5=-2.3b+8.3+6.5\\13.7b=-2.3b+14.8`

Now add
`2.3` to both sides:

`13.7b+2.3b=-2.3b+14.8+2.3b\\16b=14.8`

Finally, divide both sides by 16 to get the final answer:

`(16b)/(16) =(14.8)/(16)`

Therefore,

`b=0.3`

Hope this helps!
