Question

3 + 1/3 equals b - 23 State the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

$b=\frac{79}{3}$ or $b=26.33$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the question to be finding the value of b.

$3+\frac{1}{3}=b-23$

Solution:

Rewrite the equation as.

$b-23=3+\frac{1}{3}$

first we solve right side of the equation.

$b-23=\frac{3\times 3+ 1}{3}$

$b-23=\frac{9+ 1}{3}$

$b-23=\frac{10}{3}$

Add 23 both side of the equation.

$b-23+23=\frac{10}{3}+23$

$b=\frac{10+23\times 3}{3}$

$b=\frac{10+69}{3}$

$b=\frac{79}{3}$

or

$b=26.33$

Therefore, the value of $b=\frac{79}{3}$ or $b=26.33$
