Question

Solve the following equation

$\frac{2b}{3}-5=3$

Answer 1

Given :- $\frac{2b}{3}-5=3$

Adding both sides of equation by $5$

⇒$\frac{2b}{3}-5+5=3+5$

$\frac{2b}{3}=8$

Multiplying both sides of equation by $3$

$\frac{2b}{3}\times 3=8\times 3$

$2b=24$

Dividing both sides of equation by $2$

$\frac{2b}{2}=\frac{24}{2}$

$b=12$

Therefore, $b=12$ is the required solution.
