I have got this circuit, the problem is to find I BQ.
My work is: I Bq = (Vcc-Vb)/Rb=(20-0.7)V/510k= 0.038mA
But the answer is using the equation:
Ib=(Vcc−Vbe−Ie*Re)/Rb
Why is that?

The simpler result is just Ib= (Vcc-Vbe) / (Rb+β*Re) ... let β+1= β=100 since β is just an approximation with a 3:1 range in the datasheet. Now you may understand, since Ie*Re raises the emitter voltage and reduces the voltage across Rb. But if you replace the voltage Ie*Re with the input impedance β*Re, and assume Vbe 0.7V you can get the alternate KVL equation..

The trick is the input impedance to the base, we can ignore Rbe as small and just use β*Re.
Similarily, the output impedance of the emitter is Re || (Rb / β)

I only understand the bold line, it means that i need to take the resistor Re into account.

You are throwing the wrong values at equations because you don't understand either the values or the equations.

Once again, you are running into problems because you won't take a step back and learn the fundamentals, so you keep digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole.

If the TS doesn't grasp why Vb = Ie·Re + Vbe, then the only thing that telling them about replacing Re with ß·Re is likely to accomplish is to give them yet one more equation and/or rule to memorize that they don't grasp and, hence, will misapply it down the road, leaving them right where they are now as far as messing up the fundamentals and scratching their head wondering why it's wrong. It is just handing them a bigger shovel so that they can dig even deeper and faster.

I am learning fundamentals bro, this is a basic prob to practice, the values are correct, don't u see? lots of lengthy quotations and distractions from you bro.

The fact that you think that 0.7 V is the correct value for Vb demonstrates that you do NOT understand the fundamentals.

you dont see the whole problem, so you dont know obviously, again lots of lengthy and useless quotations and distractions from you.

If you haven't shown the whole problem to us, whose fault is that?

And how does any part of the problem that you haven't shown somehow make Vb equal to 0.7 V?

What would you get for Ibq and for Vc if the 510 kΩ resistor were replaced with a 150 kΩ resistor?

If I would get such a response, I am really not sure if I would spend some more time to improve the knowledge of the TO.

yeh, i appreciate you, I dont expect that guy Wbahn's responses, no one asks him to do that.

Why do you think that the voltage between base and GND is 0.7V?
Notice that in your circuit, you have a RE resistor, and the emitter current flows through this resistor (1.5kohm).
And this means the Ve voltage will be Ie*RE higher than GND (0V). And the voltage at the base will be 0.7V higher than Ve.

And this is why we can write the KVL loop:
Vcc - Ib*Rb - Vbe - Ie*RE = 0
Additionally, we know that Ie = Ib/(β + 1) ( Ie = Ib + Ic = Ib + Ib*β = Ib*(β + 1) )
