Write Equation: Write down the equation that needs to be solved.(23)+b=(47)
Isolate b: To find the value of b, we need to isolate b on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 23 from both sides of the equation.b=47−23
Convert Fractions: Convert the fractions to have a common denominator before subtracting. The common denominator for 4 and 2 is 4.b = \left(\frac{7}{4}\right) - \left(\frac{3}{2}\right) \times \left(\frac{2}{2}\right)b = \left(\frac{7}{4}\right) - \left(\frac{6}{4}\right)
Subtract Fractions: Now subtract the fractions.b = (47)−(46)b = (47−6)b = 41
