Step-by-step explanation:
3 - 2(b - 2) = 2 - 7b
To solve this first distribute -2 to (b - 2)
3 + (-2b + (-2) x -2) = 2 - 7b
when we simplify this it becomes:
3 + (-2b + 4) = 2 - 7b
We take (-2b + 4) out of the parenthesis:
3 - 2b + 4 = 2 - 7b
Now simplify again.
7 - 2b = 2 - 7b
Now send all the b's to one side and constants on the other.
7 - 2 = -7b +2b
5 = 5b
b = 1
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
((36/2)/(3×9))/2
((36/2)/(3×9))/2 = 36/(3×9×2×2):
36/(3×9×2×2)
36/9 = (9×4)/9 = 4:
4/(3×2×2)
4/2 = (2×2)/2 = 2:
2/(3×2)
2/(3×2) = 2/2×1/3 = 1/3:
Answer: 1/3
1. 7x - 28 = 84
2. 7x = 112
