Answer 1

24-10(1.5)=9

b = 1.5

Explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Exact Form:

b = 3 /2

Decimal Form:

b = 1.5

10(1.5) = 15

24 - 15 = 9

Answer 2

b = 1.5

Explanation:

Lets first set up the equation:

24 - 10b = 9

Okay now lets add 10b on both sides:

24 = 9 + 10b

Now let's subtract 9 from both sides so we can get the variable b by its self:

15 = 10b

Okay now we can divide each side by 10:

1.5 = b
