b = ___
(type your answer as a number, "no solution" or "infinite solutions")

Answer 1

Answer:

b = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$1.9=-0.95(b+6)$

We need to solve this to find the value of 'b'.

Solution:

On Solving the above equation we get;

First we will apply distributive property to solve the same we get;

$1.9=-0.95b-0.95\times6\\\\1.9=-0.95b-5.7$

Now Using Addition property of equality we will add both side by 5.7 we get;

$1.9+5.7=-0.95b-5.7+5.7\\\\7.6=-0.95b$

Now Using Division property of equality dividing both side by -0.95 we get;

$\frac{7.6}{-0.95}=\frac{-0.95b}{-0.95}\\\\b=-8$

Hence The value of 'b' is -8.
