-3(4b-10) = .5(-24b=60)
find the value of b
Why do you have two equal signs in this equation?
-3(4b-10) = .5(-24b+60)
-12b + 30 = -12b + 30
all values of b are solutions
i'm sorry the second equals sign should be a + sign
see solution above,
I figured that the second '=' sign was supposed to be '+'
To solve this equation and find the value of b, we need to simplify and isolate the variable.
Let's start by simplifying the equation step by step:
-3(4b - 10) = 0.5(-24b + 60)
First, let's distribute -3 to both terms inside the parentheses on the left side of the equation:
-12b + 30 = 0.5(-24b + 60)
Next, let's distribute 0.5 to both terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation:
-12b + 30 = -12b + 30
We now have the same terms on both sides of the equation. Now, let's simplify further:
-12b + 30 = -12b + 30
The terms containing b on both sides of the equation are exactly the same, so we can say that b can have any value. In other words, for any value of b, the equation will hold true.
Therefore, there is not a single specific value of b that can be found using this equation.
