solve the equation
b/2-15=16
a.62
b.15
c.1/2
d.2
b/2-15 = 16
b/2 = 16 + 15
b/2 = 31
b = 31 * 2
b = 62

To solve the equation b/2 - 15 = 16, we need to isolate the variable b.
Step 1: Add 15 to both sides of the equation:
b/2 - 15 + 15 = 16 + 15
b/2 = 31
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 (to get rid of the fraction):
2(b/2) = 2(31)
b = 62
Therefore, the answer is a. 62.
