Question

can someone help with 32 please! We are doing multi-step equation :)

Answer 1

So we need to get b by itself. First, let's remember our properties:

Subtraction Property of Equality

Addition Property of Equality

Division Property of Equality

Multiplication Property of Equality

We will be using these to solve the problem. Let's do it!

$\frac{2b}{3} + 6 = 24\\\\\frac{2b}{3} +6 - 6 = 24 - 6\\\\\frac{2b}{3} * 3 = 18 * 3\\\\2b/2 = 54/2\\b = 27$

I think the answer is 27. Hope this helps, let me know if I messed up!
