Answer:
b=4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4b+4=22
4b=22-4
4b=18
b=4.5
So all we are doing is how many 8 oz are in 1.5 gallons
So we know that there are 192 fl oz in 1.5 gallons. So then we do 192/8 to get our answer.
Answer: 24 fl oz in 197fl oz.
Final Answer: 24 fl oz
Isolate the variable on one side of the equation and everything else to the opposite side of the variable.
You can isolate the variable by undoing the operations done to the variable.
For example, if we added 5 to x (x + 5) then we would need to undo that operation. We would need to use the inverse of addition. Which is subtraction.
5x + 6 = 2(2x - 3)
5x + 6 = 4x - 6 <-- Distribute the 2
x + 6 = -6 <-- Subtract 4x from each side
x = -12 <-- Subtract 6 from each side
So, x is equal to -12.
