Question

Solve for b:4 = -2/3(5) + b

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{22}{3}$ = b

or

7$\frac{1}{3}$ = b

(they are the same value, just different ways of writing it)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 = -$\frac{2}{3}$ (5) + b

simplify

4 = -$\frac{10}{3}$ + b

now use inverse operations

4 = -$\frac{10}{3}$ + b

+$\frac{10}{3}$  +$\frac{10}{3}$

$\frac{22}{3}$ = b
