Solve the following equation
60b+1500=80b
Solve for b
60b + 1500 = 80b
Group variables
Group our variables 60b and 80b
subtract 80b from both sides
60b + 1500 - 80b = 80b - 80b
Cancel 80b on the right side:
-20b + 1500 = 0
Divide each side by 60
| 60b | |
| 60 |
| = |
| 1500 |
| 60 |
Group constants
Group our constants 1500 and 0.
subtract 1500 from both sides
-20b + 1500 - 1500 = 0 - 1500
Cancel 1500 on the left side:
-20b = -1500
Divide each side of the equation by -20
| -20b | |
| -20 |
| = |
| -1500 |
| -20 |
b = 75
Final Answer
b = 75
