Answer:

b = -28

Explanation:

You will solve for b:

-b/7=4

Multiply both sides by 7 to eliminate the fraction.

-b = 7·4

-b = 28

Divide both sides by -1 to eliminate the negative, since the variable can't be a negative. This will get you your answer.

-b · -1 = 28 · -1

b= -28

To check your answer, plug in answer to the variable:

-(-28)/7 = 4

28/7 = 4

4 = 4 ✓
