You reduce the fraction which would be 9b-1/3=5b+ 5/3
Then you move the variable to the left side and change its sign 9b-5b-1/3=5/3 then move the constant to the right side 9b-5b=5/3+1/3
Then collect the terms 4b= 5/3 + 1/3 add the fractions 4b = 2
Divide both sides of the equation which is b= 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
LET ORANGES=X
PEARS ARE 3 TIMES =3X
LET CHILDREN=Y
IF WE GIVE 5 ORANGES PER CHILD WE NEED 5Y ORANGES.SO THIS =X
X=5Y........................I
IF WE GIVE 8 PEARS PER CHILD WE NEED 8Y PERARS...THERE ARE STILL 21 PEARS LEFT OUT AFTER THIS THAT IS
8Y+21=3X....................II
SUBSTITUTING FOR X FROM EQN.I..
8Y+21=3*5Y
15Y-8Y=21
7Y=21
Y=3
X==5Y=5*3=15..
SO CHILDREN =3
ORANGES=15
PEARS=3*15=45
