Question 937647
2b +3 = 1/8
multiply both sides of = by 8
16b +24 = 1
subtract 24 from both sides of =
16b = -23
divide both sides of = by 16
b = -23/16
check answer
2(-23/16) +3 = 1/8
-46/16 +3 = 1/8
-46/16 +48/16 = 1/8
2/16 = 1/8
1/8 = 1/8
our answer, b = -23/16 checks
BUT the correct answer b = -23/16 is not one of your choices
