Question

Solve for b.

8b−1=24b+4

Answer 1

ANSWER


`b = - (5)/(16)`

Step-by-step explanation

The given equation is


`8b - 1 = 24b + 4`

We want to solve for b in the given equation.

Let us group like terms to get,


`8b - 24b = 4 + 1`

We simplify both sides of the equation to obtain,


`- 16b = 5`

We divide both sides by -16 to get,


`( - 16b)/( - 16) = (5)/( - 16)`

We now cancel out the common factors to obtain,


`b = - (5)/(16)`

Answer 2

8^b−1=24^b+4 the correct answer is 7, I took the test, and got it wrong when i entered -5/16.

Step-by-step explanation: You need to enter the exponent signs so that we can answer this correctly, and so that we get the right answers. Thankyou for trying though. And I hope that this helps.
