Question

Find the solution of 2b + 1/2 = 3 if the replacement set is (1/2 , 3/4 , 1 , 5/4 , 3/2 , 7/2)

Answer 1

b = 5/4

Explanation:

We need to find the solution of the following equation :

`2b+(1)/(2)=3`

Subtracting 1/2 both sides we get :

`2b+(1)/(2)-(1)/(2)=3-(1)/(2)\\\\2b=(5)/(2)`

Dividing both sides by 2 we get :

`b=(5)/(4)`

so, the value of b is 5/4.
