Answer:
b = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve [tex]\frac{b}{3}[/tex] -2 = 2 we need to get b by itself and to do this, we use the order of operations. This is pedmas.
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Division
- Multiplication
- Addition
- Subtraction
To solve for b, we need to use pedmas in the reverse order (so subtraction would undo first).
First, we need to add a 2 to both sides to undo the subtraction by 2.4
[tex]\frac{b}{3}[/tex] = 4
The next step is to multiply both sides by three so we undo the division.
b=12
This gives us b = 12 which is the solution to this problem.
