Question 16227
3/4 (24 - 8b) = 2 (5b + 1)
First of all distribute on left side;
{{{3/4*24-3/4*8}}}b={{{72/4-24/4}}}b, simplify
18-6b
Now the right side distribute:
2*5b+2*1=10b+2
But the equation together;
18-6b=10b+2
Subtract 18 from both sides, and subtract 10b from both sides;
18-6b-18-10b=10b+2-18-10b
-16b=-16
Divide each side by -16
b=1
Hope the class understands;
