Work Shown:
25 + (11/12)b = 47
25 + (11/12)b-25 = 47-25 ... subtract 25 from both sides
(11/12)b = 22
12*(11/12)b = 12*22 ... multiply both sides by 12
11b = 264
11b/11 = 264/11 .... divide both sides by 11
b = 24
Answer:
b = 23.1
Step-by-step explanation:
25+(11/12)b=47
25+11b/12 = 47
11b/12=47-25
11b/12 = 22
cross multiply over the bracket
11b = 22 × 12
11b = 34
divide by 11
11b/11 = 34/11
b = 23.09
b = 23.1 approximately
