Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the equation \(10b + 3 = 4\), we need to isolate the variable \(b\). First, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term on the left side. Then, divide both sides by 10 to solve for \(b\).
Step 1: Rearranging the Equation
We start with the equation:
\[
10b + 3 = 4
\]
To isolate \(b\), we first subtract 3 from both sides:
\[
10b = 4 - 3
\]
Step 2: Simplifying the Right Side
This simplifies to:
\[
10b = 1
\]
Step 3: Solving for \(b\)
Next, we divide both sides by 10 to solve for \(b\):
\[
b = \frac{1}{10}
\]
