Hello there, to answer your question...
b=13/6
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−9b+8=−3+3(b−5)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−9b+8=−3+3(b−5)
−9b+8=−3+(3)(b)+(3)(−5)(Distribute)
−9b+8=−3+3b+−15
−9b+8=(3b)+(−3+−15)(Combine Like Terms)
−9b+8=3b+−18
−9b+8=3b−18
Step 2: Subtract 3b from both sides.
−9b+8−3b=3b−18−3b
−12b+8=−18
Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.
−12b+8−8=−18−8
−12b=−26
Step 4: Divide both sides by -12.
−12b/−12
=
−26/−12
b=
13/6
I hope the information I have provided has helped. :)
