Solve 4=5/3(5)+b

$$4 = \frac { 5 } { 3 } ( 5 ) + b$$

Solve for b

$$b = -\frac{13}{3} = -4\frac{1}{3} \approx -4.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express \frac{5}{3}\times 5 as a single fraction.

$$4=\frac{5\times 5}{3}+b$$

Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.

$$4=\frac{25}{3}+b$$

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

$$\frac{25}{3}+b=4$$

Subtract \frac{25}{3} from both sides.

$$b=4-\frac{25}{3}$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{12}{3}.

$$b=\frac{12}{3}-\frac{25}{3}$$

Since \frac{12}{3} and \frac{25}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$b=\frac{12-25}{3}$$

Subtract 25 from 12 to get -13.

$$b=-\frac{13}{3}$$
