Solve 3-7/2+b=-2

$$3- \frac{ 7 }{ 2 } +b = -2$$

Solve for b

$$b = -\frac{3}{2} = -1\frac{1}{2} = -1.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$\frac{6}{2}-\frac{7}{2}+b=-2$$

Since \frac{6}{2} and \frac{7}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{6-7}{2}+b=-2$$

Subtract 7 from 6 to get -1.

$$-\frac{1}{2}+b=-2$$

Add \frac{1}{2} to both sides.

$$b=-2+\frac{1}{2}$$

Convert -2 to fraction -\frac{4}{2}.

$$b=-\frac{4}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Since -\frac{4}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$b=\frac{-4+1}{2}$$

Add -4 and 1 to get -3.

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