Question

-9/3 + b = -1 solve for b

Answer 1

Answer:

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:-

$-\frac{9}{3} + b = -1$

To find:-

• The value of b .

Solution:-

=> $-\frac{9}{3} + b = -1$

• [Converting -9/3 into its simpler form]

=> -3 + b = -1

• [Moving the like terms to same sides]

=> b = 3 - 1

• [On subtracting]

=> b = 2

Hence,

The value of b is 2 (Ans)

Verification:-

Now,

Putting the value of b = 2 in the given equation we get,

LHS = $-\frac{9}{3} + 2$

       = $\frac{-9 + 6}{3}$

       = $-\frac{3}{3}$

       = -1

RHS = -1

As,

LHS = RHS.

Hence,

The given value of b = 2 is appropriate. (Proved)
