Solve the proportion.

Answer:
b= 6/5
b = 1 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this using cross products
(3b-4) (b-2)
--------- = ---------
4 8
8* (3b-4) = 4*(b-2)
Distribute
24b -32 = 4b -8
Subtract 4b from each side
24b-4b -32 = 4b-4b-8
20b -32 = -8
Add 32 to each side
20b -32+32 = -8 +32
20b =24
Divide each side by 20
20b/20 = 24/20
b= 24/20
Dividing the top and bottom by 4
b = 6/5
b = 1 4/20
=1 1/5
Answer:
b = 6/5
or
b = 1.2 in decimal
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this proportion
3b - 4/4 = b-2/8
the first step to take is to cross multiply
3b - 4/4 = b-2/8
we have,
4( b-2) = 8(3b -4)
we will open the bracket
4b - 8 = 24b - 32
collect the like terms or combine the like terms
4b - 8 + 32 = 24b
-8 + 32 = 24b - 4b
24 = 20b
divide both sides by the coefficient of b which is 20
24/20 = 20b/20
b = 24/20
b = 6/5
or in decimal form
b = 1.2
