How can we isolate b on the left-hand side?
b=1.7
To solve the equation, we have to isolate b on one side of the equation. By dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we can remove the coefficient from b.
.LHS /5.=.RHS /5.
a/5* 5 = a
Calculate quotient
To check that we have the correct solution, we can substitute b=1.7 into the original equation.
Since both sides are equal, we can conclude that b=1.7 is the correct solution.
