Answer:
4.75
Explanation:
-2-0.5b + 12 = 0.3b + 6.2
Move all terms to the left:
-2-0.5b + 12 - (0.3b + 6.2) = 0
Add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-0.5b - (0.3b + 6.2) + 10 = 0
Get rid of parentheses
-0.5b - 0.3b - 6.2 + 10 = 0
Add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-0.8b + 3.8 = 0
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right
-0.8b = -3.8
b= -3.8/-0.8
b= 4+0.6/0.8
b= 4.75
