Solve for b Step by step
2+3b=5b-4

b=3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to put the variables on one side, so to get rid of the 3b, subtract 3b from both sides

2+3b-3b=5b-3b-4

2=2b-4

Then you want to get rid of the -4 so you add 4

2+4=2b-4+4

6=2b

Then, divide 6 by 2 to get b by itself

3=b

step-by-step explanation:

a and d

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
