You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3/4(b+8)=15
\n" ); document.write( "You need to also distribute the 3/4 to 8;
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\"(b)+\"3%2F4\"(8)=15
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\"b+\"24%2F4\"=15
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\"b+6=15
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\"b=9
\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply each side by the reciprical of \"3%2F4\", which is \"4%2F3\";
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\"b\"4%2F3\"=(9)\"4%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "b=\"36%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "b=12
\n" ); document.write( "hope you understand
