Question

Solve the equation. 2b+8-5b+3=-13+8b-9

Answer 1

• b=3

Explanation:

2b+8-5b+3=-13+8b-9

Combine like terms

-3b+11=8b-22

Subtract 11 from both sides:

-3b+11-11=8b-22-11

-3b=8b-33

Subtract 8b from both sides:

-3b-8b=8b-33-8b

-11b=-33

Divide both sides by -11:

-11b/-11=-33/-11

b=3
