Solve 4/3b+b=1/2

$$\frac { 4 } { 3 } b + b = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Solve for b

$$b=\frac{3}{14}\approx 0.214285714$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine \frac{4}{3}b and b to get \frac{7}{3}b.

$$\frac{7}{3}b=\frac{1}{2}$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{3}.

$$b=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{7}$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{3}{7} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$b=\frac{1\times 3}{2\times 7}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 3}{2\times 7}.

$$b=\frac{3}{14}$$
