Question

Solve for
b. b 0.6=−1 what is the answer?

Answer 1

value of b is, -1.6

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`b+0.6=1`

Subtraction property of equality states that you subtract the same number to both sides of an equation.

Subtract 0.6 to both sides of an equation [1]

`b+0.6-0.6 = -1-0.6`

Simplify:

`b = -1-0.6`

⇒
`b =-1.6`

Therefore, the value of b is, -1.6

Answer 2

I assume the expression is written this way,
b(0.6) = -1
or this can be better written as,
0.6b = -1
To answer the question, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.6 and that will give us an answer of,
b = -1/0.6 = -5/3
