Isolate term with b: First, let's isolate the term containing b on one side of the equation.7+(117)b=35Subtract 7 from both sides to move the constant term to the right side.(117)b=35−7
Simplify right side: Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation.(117)b=28
Multiply by reciprocal: Next, we need to solve for b by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 117, which is 711.b=28×711
Perform multiplication: Now, let's perform the multiplication to find the value of b.b=4×11b=44
