3/2b + 1/5b = 17

First, you would combine like terms

17/10b = 17

Then, you would divide 17 by 17/10

b = 10

___

Check:

3/2(10) + 1/5(10) = 17

15 + 2 = 17

17 = 17

___

Hope this helps you and Happy Thanksgiving!

3/2b + 1/5b = 17

Multiply both sides by the LCD.

10 * 3/2b + 10 * 1/5b = 10 * 17

15b + 2b = 170

17b = 170

b = 10
