Solve 0=-1/3(8)+b

$$0 = - 1 / 3 ( 8 ) + b$$

Solve for b

$$b = \frac{8}{3} = 2\frac{2}{3} \approx 2.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express -\frac{1}{3}\times 8 as a single fraction.

$$0=\frac{-8}{3}+b$$

Fraction \frac{-8}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{8}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$0=-\frac{8}{3}+b$$

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

$$-\frac{8}{3}+b=0$$

Add \frac{8}{3} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$b=\frac{8}{3}$$
