Question

If (b + 6)/3 = (d + 4)/2, then b/3 = ? ??? is it d/2??

Answer 1

Answer: b / 3 = d / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(b + 6)/3 = (d + 4)/2

(b / 3) + (6 / 3) = (d + 4)/2

(b / 3) + 2 = (d + 4)/2

Subtracting 2 from both sides,

(b / 3) + 2 - 2 = ((d + 4)/2) - 2

or, b / 3 = ((d + 4)/2) - 2

or, b / 3 = (d / 2) + ( 4 / 2 ) - 2

or, b / 3 = (d / 2) + 2 - 2

or, b / 3 = d / 2

So,

b/3 is equal to d/2.
