Solve for b2 h/2(b1+b2)
To solve for the indicated variable "b2" in the equation h/2(b1 + b2), we can use algebraic techniques. Here's a step-by-step explanation of solving for b2:
Step 1: Distribute the h/2 to both terms in the parentheses:
h/2 * b1 + h/2 * b2
Step 2: Simplify the equation:
hb1/2 + hb2/2
Step 3: Combine the terms that have the same variable (b2):
hb2/2
Step 4: Multiply both sides of the equation by 2/h to isolate b2:
(b2 * hb2/2) * (2/h) = 0 * (2/h)
Step 5: Simplify the equation further:
b2 = 0
Therefore, the value of b2 is 0.
To summarize, to solve for b2 in the equation h/2(b1 + b2), we distributed the h/2 to both terms inside the parentheses, combined like terms, and then isolated b2 by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2/h. Finally, we simplified the equation and found that b2 equals 0.
