Since the two fractions have a common denominator already, we can just subtract the numerators.
b-3b=-2b or -3b+b=-2b
Either way you get the same answer :)
Our new fraction is

Now we know that this must be equal to

Again, since the denominators are already the same of course they are equal. 13=13
Now we have to set the numerators equal
-2b=8
Use inverse operations to get b alone
-2b=8
÷-2 ÷-2
b=-4
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helped! :)
i don't really get what the question is could you write it again?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
note : distance between A(X1,Y1) an B (X2,Y2) is :
AB= √((X2 - X1)² + (Y2 - Y1)²)
in this exercice : X1 = -3 X2 = - 4 Y1 = 5 Y2 = 1
continue .....calculate AB
