Question

If 2b is three times greater than c then in terms of c, b−4c=(?)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer in terms of c is :

b-4c = -1.5c

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation:

'2b is 3 times greater than c'

can be mathematically written as:

2b = 3×c

This can also be written as:

2b = 3c

b = 3/2 c

Or, b = 1.5 c

Applying the value in the given equation in the question as:

$\Rightarrow b-4c$

$\Rightarrow 1.5c-4c$

$\Rightarrow -2.5 c$

Thus,

b-4c = -2.5 c
