Answer:
2 - [tex]b = 9\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
2 • 2 + 1 = 5
4 • 11 + 3 = 47
[tex]\frac{5}{2} + b = \frac{47}{4}[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{5}{2} +\frac{5}{2} + b = \frac{47}{4} - \frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{37}{4}[/tex]
[tex]b = 9\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
