Question 430095: b-7 5/6 = 3 2/3, what is "b"

b-7((5)/(6))=3((2)/(3))
Multiply 3 by each term inside the parentheses.
b-7((5)/(6))=2
Multiply -7 by each term inside the parentheses.
b-(35)/(6)=2
Since -(35)/(6) does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding (35)/(6) to both sides.
b=(35)/(6)+2
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.
b=(47)/(6)
or you can reduce it further:
(47)/(6)
The approximate value of (47)/(6) is 7.833333.
7.833333
