Solve 1.6s+2.3b=11.00

$$1.6 s + 2.3 b = 11.00$$

Solve for b

$$b=\frac{110-16s}{23}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 1.6s from both sides.

$$2.3b=11-1.6s$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$2.3b=-\frac{8s}{5}+11$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.3, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{2.3b}{2.3}=\frac{-\frac{8s}{5}+11}{2.3}$$

Dividing by 2.3 undoes the multiplication by 2.3.

$$b=\frac{-\frac{8s}{5}+11}{2.3}$$

Divide 11-\frac{8s}{5} by 2.3 by multiplying 11-\frac{8s}{5} by the reciprocal of 2.3.

$$b=\frac{110-16s}{23}$$

Solve for s

$$s=-\frac{23b}{16}+6.875$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2.3b from both sides.

$$1.6s=11-2.3b$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$1.6s=-\frac{23b}{10}+11$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 1.6, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{1.6s}{1.6}=\frac{-\frac{23b}{10}+11}{1.6}$$

Dividing by 1.6 undoes the multiplication by 1.6.

$$s=\frac{-\frac{23b}{10}+11}{1.6}$$

Divide 11-\frac{23b}{10} by 1.6 by multiplying 11-\frac{23b}{10} by the reciprocal of 1.6.

$$s=-\frac{23b}{16}+\frac{55}{8}$$
