3.7 + 7 = 8.1*b -19.4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 10 to eliminate decimals
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "37 +70 = 81b - 194
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "add 194 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "37 +70 +194 = 81b
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "81b = 37+70+194
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "81b = 301
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 81
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "b = 301/81 = approximately 3.716049382716049
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
