How to work out 3b/7 - 1 = 5 precise step by step?

b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

3b/7 -1 = 5

3b/7 = 6

3b = 6x7 = 42

b = 42/3

b = 14

b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

3b/7 - 1 = 5

Add 1 to both sides.

3b/7 = 6

Multiply both sides by 7 to cancel the fraction.

3b = 42

Divide both sides by 3 to get b by itself.

b = 14

Proof:

3b/7 - 1 = 5

Insert variable.

3(14)/7 - 1 = 5

Multiply.

42/7 - 1 = 5

Divide.

6 - 1 = 5

Subtract.

5 = 5

step-by-step explanation:

134.6 us dollars

step-by-step explanation:

1 us dollar = 1.33 canadian dollars

so, 150 us dollars = 150 × 1.33 = $199.5.

in canada, the money mitchell spent = 20 canadian dollars.

remaining canadian dollars with him = 199.5 - 20 = 179.5.

after mitchell returned to us, he exchanged the remaining canadian dollars to us dollars.

179.5 canadian dollars = 179.5 × 0.75 = 134.6 us dollars.
