Question

What is 3(4-2)=4b+5? Please explain step-by-step because that's how I have to write it.

Answer 1

If you would like to solve the equation 3 * (4 - 2) = 4 * b + 5, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 * (4 - 2) = 4 * b + 5
3 * 2 = 4 * b + 5
6 = 4 * b + 5
6 - 5 = 4 * b
1 = 4 * b    /4
b = 1/4

The value of b is 1/4.
