Answer
Success!
b=24
↓Steps Explained:↓
Solve for b
3b - 43.95 - 4.05 = b
Group the constants on the left
-43.95 - 4.05 = -48
Form modified equation
3b - 48 = b
Group variables
Group our variables 3b and b
subtract b from both sides
3b - 48 - b = b - b
Cancel b on the right side:
2b - 48 = 0
Divide each side by 3
| 3b | |
| 3 |
| = |
| -43.95 |
| 3 |
Group constants
Group our constants -48 and 0.
add 48 to both sides
2b - 48 + 48 = 0 + 48
Cancel 48 on the left side:
2b = 48
Divide each side of the equation by 2
| 2b | |
| 2 |
| = |
| 48 |
| 2 |
b = 24
