Asked by Sue
Another problem that I am disagreeing with the answer key -
I am once again solving for b
-9 = -24/7 + b
I add -24/7 to both sides to get -9 + 24/7 = b
When I make 7 my denominator for both I get -63/7 + 24/7 = b
My final answer is -39/7 = b
The answer book says it's positive 39/7.
Have I done something wrong?

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Flip the equation.
Step 3: Add 24/7 to both sides.
Final answer is 39/7

I did add 24/7 to both sides, but the -9 on the left side becomes -63/7 which is larger than the 24/7 ---
-63 - 24 is still -39????
-63 - 24 is still -39????

Okay so -24/7 + 24/7 = -9 + 24/7
b= -39/7
b= -39/7

Yes, I agree but Jackson said it would be positive and the answer book says positive. I just don’t see how???
