Question

Solve for b.

−1/6b=3

What is the answer?

−18

−2

2

18

Answer 1

It's -18.

-1/6b=3

Multiply the reciprocal of -1/6 to both sides, this will get x by itself

(-6/1)*-1/6b=3*(-6/1)

b= -18/1
b= -18

Answer 2

`The\ value\ of\ b\ for\ expression\ (-1)/(6)* b=3\ is\ -18 .`

Explanation:

As given the equation in the question be as follow .

`(-1)/(6)* b=3`

It is also written as

`(-b)/(6)=3`

`b=-6* 3`

b = -18

`Therefore\ the\ value\ of\ b\ for\ expression\ (-1)/(6)* b=3\ is\ -18 .`
