Question

Solve:
$\left(v\right)$ $\frac{b}{16}+3=-2.5$

Answer 1

Given,
$\frac{b}{16}+3=-2.5$

Subtracting $3$ from both the sides

$\frac{b}{1.6}+3-3=-2.5-3$

$\Rightarrow \frac{b}{1.6}=-5.5$

Multiplying each side by $1.6$

$\frac{b}{1.6}\times 1.6=(-5.5)\times \left(1.6\right)$

$\Rightarrow b=-8.80$

Hence, the value of $b$ is $-8.80$.
