Solve for b

Solve for b : -3b+2.5=4

-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3b = 4-2.5

-3b = 1.5

(-3b)/-3 = 1.5/-3

b = -0.5

should be - 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 3b + 2.5 = 4

1.Turn the equation around

1. -3b = -2.5 + 4.

1. The reason why you turn the 2.5 into a negative is because you basically doing the oppisite if that makes sence.

2. Add -2.5 + 4

2. -2.5 + 4 = 1.5

2. I just added.

3. Plug 1.5 into the equation. Like so

3. -3b = 1.5

3. I just replaced -2.4 + 4 with the answer

4. Divied -3b = 1.5

4. -3b/-3b = 1.5/-3b = -0.5

4. What you do to one side you have to do to the other so -3b/-3b is 0 or it just is not there anymore next you take -3b and divide it by 1.5 and get - 0.5 BAM.  

5. Plug -0.5 in for b.

5. -3(-0.5) + 2.5 = 4  

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
