30÷3 6÷3 so u have to distribute the numbers
6b - 8 = 8b - 11
11 - 8 = 8b - 6b
3 = 2b
b = 3/2 = 1.5
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
3x - 5 = 1
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Add 5 to both sides: 3x = 6
- Divide both sides by 3: x = 2
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
3(2) - 5 = 1
6 - 5 = 1
1 = 1
