You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve the formula for b%5B2%5D.

A=%281%2F2%29%28b%5B1%5D%2Bb%5B2%5D%29h


You will use these properties:
Multiplicative Inverse of 1%2F2;
Multiplicative Inverse of h;
Additive Inverse of b%5B1%5D;
SOLVED!

Your need to fill in the steps that each property represents.
