Question

Can someone help me on number 6?

Answer 1

Answer:

b=72

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3(b+6) = 1/4b+8

First, open the parentheses, which means multiplying both variables in the parentheses by 1/3.

1/3b+2 = 1/4b+8

Then, subtract 2 from both sides.

1/3b = 1/4b+6

Subtract 1/4b from both sides, but first change the fractions so that they have the same denominator.

4/12b = 3/12b+6

1/12b = 6

Finally, divide 1/12 on both sides which gives us b = 72
