There should be no problem in finding the value of the unknown variable "b" in the equation given in the question.The equation is solvable for finding the value of "b" because it is the only unknown variable in the single equation that is given in the question.
45 = 3b + 69
Let us reverse both sides of the equation first. then, we get
3b + 69 = 45
3b = 45 - 69
3b = - 24
b = - (24/3)
= - 8
So from the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the value of b in the given equation is -8.
Whole package weighs 20pounds
1.65 = 5pounds
0.12 = extra pound
3.45 - 1.65 = 1.80 : 0.12 = 15pounds
Adding up 15pounds and the first 5 pounds equal 20 pounds
It seems like you put the same equation up there twice, but no worries! :)
8x + 32 = 2(25x - 15) - 11x
Simplify.
8x + 32 = 50x - 30 - 11x
Add like terms.
8x + 32 = (50x - 11x) - 30
Simplify.
8x + 32 = 39x - 30
Now we must subtract 32 from both sides.
8x = 39x - 30 - 32
Then, subtract 39x from both sides.
8x - 39x = -30 - 32
Simplify.
-31x = -62
Finally, divide both sides by -31.
-31x ÷ -31 = -62 ÷ -31
Simplify.
x = 2
