Answer:
b = -4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract the 1/2 over
-1/4b+1/2=5/6
5/6-1/2
To get a common denominator of 6, multipy 1/2 by 3
5/6-1/2(3)
5/6-3/6=2/6
-1/4b=2/6
Next, multiply by the reciprocal of -1/4, or -4
(-4)-1/4b=2/6(-4)
b=-4/3
Answer:
E. 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the values together.
4 (2/6) + 3 (3/6) + 2 (3/6) = 9 (8/6) or 10 (1/3)
multiply 10 by 3 to find how many thirds there are and add 1 to that number for the extra 1/3.
