Problem 45
Question
Solve the equation. $$4 b=26-9 b$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The solution to the equation is \(b = 2\)
1Step 1: Consolidate 'b' terms on one side
Add \(9b\) to both sides of the equation to get all terms containing 'b' on one side. This will result in \(4b + 9b = 26\)
2Step 2: Simplify 'b' terms
Combine like terms on the left side of the equation. This will give \(13b = 26\)
3Step 3: Solve for 'b'
Divide both sides of the equation by 13 to isolate 'b' on one side. This results in \(b = 26 / 13\)
4Step 4: Simplify the equation
The expression on the right side can be simplified to give the solution: \(b = 2\)
