Three times b less than 100 is equal to the product of 6 and b

The equation is : 100 -3b = 6b

The solution: variable b = 11.9

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one. Can be stated in the form:

ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable

Whereas the two-variable linear equation is a linear equation that has 2 variables and the exponent is one

Can be stated in the form:

x, y = variable

In the statement of the task:

three times b less than 100 is equal to the product of 6 and b is  the same as 100 minus 3 times b equals 6 times b.

If we translate this sentence into equation, :

100 -3b = 6b

This equation belongs to One variable linear equation  because there is one variable = b and the exponent number is one

The solution is :

100 = 9b

b = 100 : 9

b = 11.1
