Question

Solve the equation

b = 3

Evaluate

\frac{1}{3} (b - 5) = - \frac{2}{3}

Multiply the terms

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{1}{3} (b - 5)

Apply the distributive property

\frac{1}{3} b - \frac{1}{3} \times 5

Multiply the numbers

\frac{1}{3} b - \frac{5}{3}

\frac{1}{3} b - \frac{5}{3} = - \frac{2}{3}

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

\frac{1}{3} b = - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{3}

Add the numbers

More Steps

Evaluate

- \frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{3}

Write all numerators above the common denominator

\frac{- 2 + 5}{3}

Add the numbers

\frac{3}{3}

Reduce the numbers

\frac{1}{1}

Calculate

1

\frac{1}{3} b = 1

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{1}{3} b \times 3 = 1 \times 3

Multiply

b = 1 \times 3

Solution

b = 3
