Answer:
b = -4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, let's look at this.
-7b - 3 = 3b + 5.
To isolate the variable, we can subtract 3b from both sides to get:
-10b - 3 = 5
Now, we can add 3 to both sides!
-10b = 5 + 3 = 8
So, our resulting equation is
-10b = 8
To isolate the variable by itself (without the pesky -10 bothering us), we can divide the equation by -10 :)
b = -8/10, simplified to -4/5
I don't believe there is more than one solution to this!
Answer:
[tex]b= -\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-7b - 3 = 3b + 5[/tex]
[tex]-10b = 8[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-10b}{-10} = \frac{8}{-10}[/tex]
[tex]b = -\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
