Question

2.02b + 4.30 = 2.00b + 6.30

Answer 1

Answer: b = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

2.02b + 4.30 = 2.00b + 6.30

reorder the terms:

4.30 + 2.02b = 2.00b + 6.30

reorder the terms:

4.30 + 2.02b = 6.30 + 2.00b

solving

4.30 + 2.02b = 6.30 + 2.00b

solving for variable 'b'.

move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2.00b' to each side of the equation.

4.30 + 2.02b + -2.00b = 6.30 + 2.00b + -2.00b

combine like terms: 2.02b + -2.00b = 0.02b

4.30 + 0.02b = 6.30 + 2.00b + -2.00b

combine like terms: 2.00b + -2.00b = 0.00

4.30 + 0.02b = 6.30 + 0.00

4.30 + 0.02b = 6.30

add '-4.30' to each side of the equation.

4.30 + -4.30 + 0.02b = 6.30 + -4.30

combine like terms: 4.30 + -4.30 = 0.00

0.00 + 0.02b = 6.30 + -4.30

0.02b = 6.30 + -4.30

combine like terms: 6.30 + -4.30 = 2

0.02b = 2

divide each side by '0.02'.

getting:  b = 100
