Solve 5/4+6b=5

$$\frac { 5 } { 4 } + 6 b = 5$$

Solve for b

$$b=\frac{5}{8}=0.625$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{5}{4} from both sides.

$$6b=5-\frac{5}{4}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{20}{4}.

$$6b=\frac{20}{4}-\frac{5}{4}$$

Since \frac{20}{4} and \frac{5}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$6b=\frac{20-5}{4}$$

Subtract 5 from 20 to get 15.

$$6b=\frac{15}{4}$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$b=\frac{\frac{15}{4}}{6}$$

Express \frac{\frac{15}{4}}{6} as a single fraction.

$$b=\frac{15}{4\times 6}$$

Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.

$$b=\frac{15}{24}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$b=\frac{5}{8}$$
