b-4....-5
___ =____
3.... 1
DONT WORRY ABOUT THE ......
To solve this fraction, we need to find the value that makes the equation true.
In the numerator, we have the expression b - 4, while the denominator contains the expression -5.
In the equation:
(b - 4) / -5 = 3 / 1
To solve for the variable b, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, we can cross-multiply the numerator and denominator to eliminate the fractions:
1 * (b - 4) = -5 * 3
Simplifying:
b - 4 = -15
Next, we can isolate the variable b by adding 4 to both sides of the equation:
b - 4 + 4 = -15 + 4
Simplifying:
b = -11
Therefore, b is equal to -11.
