Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 2/5 b =11 - 2/5 b (this is the given question is it?)
2/5 b + 2/5 b= 11 - 3 (like terms together, you transpose -2/5b to the other side as shown.)
<u>2</u><u>b</u><u>+</u><u>2</u><u>b</u><u> </u>= 8 ( at that stage you would find t
5 hat 5 is the common value to go into 5 itself, as shown.
<u>4</u><u>b</u><u> </u>= 8 ( you just add 2b + 2b to have 4b)
5
<u>4</u><u>b</u><u> </u>= <u>8</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>at</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u> </u><u>point</u><u> </u><u>you</u><u> </u><u>cross</u><u> </u><u>multiply</u>
5 1 as shown)
4b = 8 × 5 ( simple math as shown)
4b = 40 ( you multiply 8 × 5 to obtain 40)
b =10 you can prove that. Thank you.
