Question

Solve this equation
156=2b+5(-8-6b)​

Answer 1

Answer:the answer is -7

Explanation:

156=2b+5(-8-6b)

2b+5(-8-6b)

expand 2b+5(-8-6b) ---> -28b-40

-28b-40=156

add 40 to both sides

-28b-40+40=156+40

simplify

-28b=196

divide both sides by -28

(-28b/-28b) = (196/-28b)

simplify

b=-7
