Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
2b + 5 = 2
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>b</u></em>
- Subtract 5 on both sides: 2b = -3
- Divide 2 on both sides: b = -3/2
1/5^2 = 1/25
1/5^1 = 1/5
1/5^0 = 1
1/5^-1 = 5
1/5^-2 = 25

Because (4*3) + 3 = 15. Similary find the improper fraction for -2 1/2.
(15/4) / (-5/2) = -3/2
Convert -3/2 into a mixed fraction.
Therefore, -3/2 = -1 1/2.
