-3b+2.5=4

Solve for b b .\newline3b+2.5=4 -3 b+2.5=4

Full solution

Q. Solve for b b .\newline3b+2.5=4 -3 b+2.5=4
  1. Isolate variable b: First, we need to isolate the variable b on one side of the equation. We can start by subtracting 2.52.5 from both sides to get rid of the constant term on the left side.\newline3b+2.52.5=42.5-3b + 2.5 - 2.5 = 4 - 2.5
  2. Simplify both sides: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation by performing the subtraction. \newline3b=1.5-3b = 1.5
  3. Divide both sides: Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3-3 to solve for bb.b=1.53b = \frac{1.5}{-3}
  4. Perform division: Finally, we perform the division to find the value of bb.b=0.5b = -0.5
