b + 10 / 2 = 9
b = -2
b = 8
To solve the equation ( b + frac{10}{2} = 9 ), we need to simplify and isolate ( b ).
1. First, simplify ( frac{10}{2} ) to get 5. So the equation becomes:
[
b + 5 = 9
]
2. Next, subtract 5 from both sides to isolate ( b ):
[
b = 9 – 5
]
3. Simplifying that gives:
[
b = 4
]
Therefore, neither ( b = -2 ) nor ( b = 8 ) is correct. The solution to the equation is ( b = 4 ). If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
To solve the equation ( b + frac{10}{2} = 9 ), first simplify the fraction:
1. Calculate ( frac{10}{2} ):
[
frac{10}{2} = 5

2. Now, rewrite the equation:
[
b + 5 = 9
]
3. To isolate ( b ), subtract 5 from both sides:
[
b = 9 – 5

[
b = 4

Therefore, the correct answer is ( b = 4 ). Neither ( -2 ) nor ( 8 ) is correct. If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
