Solve -2=-4/3(1)+b

$$- 2 = - 4 / 3 ( 1 ) + b$$

Solve for b

$$b=-\frac{2}{3}\approx -0.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply -\frac{4}{3} and 1 to get -\frac{4}{3}.

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

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

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

Add \frac{4}{3} to both sides.

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

Convert -2 to fraction -\frac{6}{3}.

$$b=-\frac{6}{3}+\frac{4}{3}$$

Since -\frac{6}{3} and \frac{4}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$b=\frac{-6+4}{3}$$

Add -6 and 4 to get -2.

$$b=-\frac{2}{3}$$
