Question

solve for b
​
−9b)+b=2b−(b+1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$b = \frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-9b + b = 2b - (b + 1)

Let's simplify by taking out the parenthesis.

-9b + b = 2b - b - 1

Now, we add like terms.

-8b = b - 1

Now, let's subtract b from both sides of the equal sign in order to isolate b.

-8b - b = b - 1 - b

Simplify!  

-9b = -1

Divide both sides by -9.

-9b ÷ b = -1 ÷ -9

Simplify.

$b = \frac{1}{9}$
