Question

Item 5 Solve for b. − 1 3 b=9 What is the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

b = -27

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/3 b = 9

Multiply each side by -3

-3 * -1/3 b = -3 * 9

b = -27

Answer 2

Answer:

For $b=\frac{9}{-13}$ so that $-13 \times b=9$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

- 13 b = 9

Here, -13 is multiplied with b  on solving it gives 9 as answer.

We have to find b so that when it is multiplied with -13 it gives answer as 9.

$-13 \times b=9$

When -13 is taken to other side operation gets inverse (multiplication changes to division) and -13 goes other side in denominator as,

$\Rightarrow b=\frac{9}{-13}$

Thus, for $b=\frac{9}{-13}$ so that $-13 \times b=9$ .
