Exercise #1

4(b2+b)13=6b 4(\frac{b}{2}+b)-\frac{1}{3}=6b

b=? b=\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, we'll open the parentheses by multiplying each term by 4:

4×b2+4×b13=6b 4\times\frac{b}{2}+4\times b-\frac{1}{3}=6b

Let's solve the multiplication exercise 4×b2=4b2=2b 4\times\frac{b}{2}=\frac{4b}{2}=2b

Now the equation is:

2b+4b13=6b 2b+4b-\frac{1}{3}=6b

We'll combine the left side between the two b terms and get:

6b13=6b 6b-\frac{1}{3}=6b

We'll reduce both sides by 6b and get:

13=0 -\frac{1}{3}=0

Since the result obtained is impossible, the exercise has no solution.
