14-8/b =17

14 - \frac{8}{b} = 17

b = - \frac{8}{3}

Solution steps

14 - \frac{8}{b} = 17

Move

14

to the right side

- \frac{8}{b} = 3

Multiply both sides by

b

- 8 = 3 b

Switch sides

3 b = - 8

Divide both sides by

3

b = - \frac{8}{3}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

b = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

b = - \frac{8}{3}

(\frac{2 x + 1}{2 x}) = 10

0 = \frac{1}{x} + 3

\frac{8}{3 ( x + 1 )} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{x - 2404.1}{x} = \frac{2}{5}

\frac{3}{x} + 2 = 0
