Answer 2

b=1

Explanation:

Hello,

We would like to solve for b in the equation -32+10b=-22.

When we want to solve for a variable, we want to isolate it on one side (have it on one side by itself. No other numbers.)

So to start, add 32 to both sides to remove it from the left side (-32+32=0).

-32+10b=-22

+32 +32

______________

10b=10

Now, there isn't anything with 10b, but we want the value of b by itself (1b), as 10b is 10 times the value of what b is.

So divide both sides by 10

b=1

Hope this helps!
