Question

Solve for the Unknown B:5(B + 4) = 3(B-1) +B​

Answer 1

Answer:

B = - 23

Step-by-step explanation:

5(B + 4) = 3(B - 1) + B ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

5B + 20 = 3B - 3 + B

5B + 20 = 4B - 3 ( subtract 4B from both sides )

B + 20 = - 3 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

B = - 23
