Question

B/6+1=b/2-3
A) b=18
B) b=-40
C) b=-24
D) b=12

Answer 1

Answer:

b=12

Step by step explanation

$\\ \\ \huge \tt \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: (D)b=12$

b/6+1=b/2-3

putting, b=12

$LHS \: \frac{12}{6} + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 \\ RHS \: \: \frac{12}{2} - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 \\ RHS \: = LHS \:$.

Answer 2

$\frac{b}{6} = \frac{b}{2} - 3$

$\frac{b}{6} - \frac{b}{2} = 3$

$\frac{b - 3b}{6} = 3$

$- 2b = 3 \times 6$

$- 2b = 18$

$b = \frac{18}{ - 2}$

$b = - 9$
