Solve 3/8 - 1/8 b= 3/4 b 1/2

Evaluate

\frac{3}{8} - \frac{1}{8} b = \frac{3}{4} b \times \frac{1}{2}

Multiply the terms

More Steps

\frac{3}{8} - \frac{1}{8} b = \frac{3}{8} b

Move the variable to the left side

\frac{3}{8} - \frac{1}{8} b - \frac{3}{8} b = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

\frac{3}{8} - \frac{1}{2} b = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- \frac{1}{2} b = 0 - \frac{3}{8}

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- \frac{1}{2} b = - \frac{3}{8}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{1}{2} b = \frac{3}{8}

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{1}{2} b \times 2 = \frac{3}{8} \times 2

Multiply

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

Solution

More Steps

b = \frac{3}{4}

Alternative Form

b = 0.75
