1. I_love_my_nieces

I have the answer I just don't know how to work it out.$\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(b-3)=\frac{ 5 }{ 2}$

2. I_love_my_nieces

$b = \frac{ 4 }{ 0.5 }$

3. anonymous

o.o..

4. I_love_my_nieces

But$\frac{ 4 }{ 0.5 }=8$ in simplest form

9. I_love_my_nieces

The 2 at what end?

10. I_love_my_nieces

@Nnesha

11. Nnesha

multiply 2 both sides to get rid of 2

12. I_love_my_nieces

Where do you see a 2?

13. Nnesha

$\frac{ 1 }{ \color{ReD}{2} }(b-3)=\frac{ 5 }{ 2}$

14. Nnesha

that's 2 ^^

15. Nnesha

we have to solve for b right ? so we need to move all the numbers which is at left side to the right side

16. Nnesha

so that's why multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the red two at left side $\frac{ 1 }{ \color{ReD}{2} }(b-3)=\frac{ 5 }{ 2}$

17. I_love_my_nieces

SO multiply 1/2 by 2? and 5/2 by 2?

18. Nnesha

yes right!

19. I_love_my_nieces

1 and 5

20. Nnesha

yes right so $\huge\rm 1(b-3)=5 ~~~~~~~~b-3=5$ now can you solve for b ?

21. I_love_my_nieces

brb stay right here

22. Nnesha

o_0 i hve 2 mints XD

23. Nnesha

knock knock i'm leaving ..... :D

$$\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}$$ @Nnesha yes right so $\huge\rm 1(b-3)=5 ~~~~~~~~b-3=5$ now can you solve for b ? $$\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}$$ after this move the -3 to the right side sorry i have to go
