Question 212887
solve equation


{{{3b/2-1=1/8}}}


Step 1.  Multiply by 8 to both sides of equation to get rid of the fractions


{{{8(3b/2-1)=8*1/8}}}


{{{4*3b-8=1}}}


{{{12b-8=1}}}


Step 2.  Add  8 to both side of equation to isolate b on left side


{{{12b-8+8=1+8}}}


{{{12b=9}}}



Step 3.  Divide by 12 to both sides to get b and simplify


{{{b=9/12}}}


{{{b=3/4}}}  ANSWER


I hope the above steps were helpful.
