Solve 2=1/3(2)+b

$$2 = \frac { 1 } { 3 } ( 2 ) + b$$

Solve for b

$$b = \frac{4}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3} \approx 1.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply \frac{1}{3} and 2 to get \frac{2}{3}.

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

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

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

Subtract \frac{2}{3} from both sides.

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

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

$$b=\frac{6}{3}-\frac{2}{3}$$

Since \frac{6}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$b=\frac{6-2}{3}$$

Subtract 2 from 6 to get 4.

$$b=\frac{4}{3}$$
