Solve 13.5/2+b=11

$$\frac{ 13.5 }{ 2 } +b = 11$$

Solve for b

$$b=4.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Expand \frac{13.5}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\frac{135}{20}+b=11$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{135}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\frac{27}{4}+b=11$$

Subtract \frac{27}{4} from both sides.

$$b=11-\frac{27}{4}$$

Convert 11 to fraction \frac{44}{4}.

$$b=\frac{44}{4}-\frac{27}{4}$$

Since \frac{44}{4} and \frac{27}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$b=\frac{44-27}{4}$$

Subtract 27 from 44 to get 17.

$$b=\frac{17}{4}$$
