Question

How do you solve `b+ 4.2= 6.1`?

Answer 1

The answer is `b=1.9`.

Explanation:

To solve for a variable, you have to get the variable by itself, one one side. To do this in this problem, you have to understand what is happening to the variable, `b`. In this problem, `4.2` is being added to `b`.

So, you have to get the variable by itself. To do this, you have to do the inverse operation of what is currently happening to `4.2`. `4.2` is being added to `b`, so you have to subtract it from the left side. But remember! Whatever you do to one side, you have to do it to the other. Once we subtract the `4.2` from the left and the right sides, you will end up with your answer.

After you have solved this problem, you will end up with the answer `b=1.9`.
