3/(b+1)=5

\frac{3}{b + 1} = 5

b = - \frac{2}{5}

Decimal Notation

b = - 0.4

Solution steps

\frac{3}{b + 1} = 5

Multiply both sides by

b + 1

3 = 5 (b + 1)

Switch sides

5 (b + 1) = 3

Divide both sides by

5

b + 1 = \frac{3}{5}

Move

1

to the right side

b = - \frac{2}{5}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

b = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

b = - \frac{2}{5}

a = \frac{b}{c}, c

\frac{1}{a x} + \frac{1}{b x} = 2

\frac{13 - 3}{2 x} = 37

\frac{8}{x} = \frac{8}{x - 4}

100 = 80 (1 + \frac{4 t}{t ^{2} + 16})
