Question

Can you please help me with my practice problem I need assistance.

Answer 1

`(-5)/(6)(8+5b)=75+(5)/(3)b`

Multiply through the equation by 6

`-5(8+5b)\text{ = 450+10b}`

open the parenthesis

-40 - 25b = 450 + 10b

collect like term

10b + 25b = -40 -450

35b = -490

Divide both-side of the equation by 35

b = -14
