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. To do this, we will subtract 23 from both sides of the equation.b=47−23
Find Common Denominator: Before subtracting, we need to have a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator for 2 and 4 is 4. We need to convert 23 to a fraction with a denominator of 4.23=2×23×2=46Now we can subtract the fractions.
Subtract Fractions: Subtract the fractions.b=47−46
Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction.b=47−6b=41
