Question

2b + 5 = 9 what is B

Answer 1

Hey there!

`Answer:\boxed{b=2}`

`Explanation:`

`2b+5=9`

Let's start off by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.

`2b+5-5=9-5\\2b=4`

Now let's divide both sides by 4.

`(2b)/(2)=(4)/(2)=2\\ b=2`

`\boxed{b=2}\text{ is your answer.}`

Hope this helps!
