Question

Ca someone solve 8 = b - 1 + 8b STEP BY STEP PLEASE.

Answer 1

b = 1

Explanation:

Given

8 = b - 1 + 8b, that is

8 = 9b - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

9 = 9b ( divide both sides by 9 )

1 = b

Answer 2

b = 1

Explanation:

8 = b - 1 + 8b

combine like terms

8 = 9b - 1

add 1 to both sides of the equation

8 + 1 = 9b - 1 + 1

8 + 1 = 9b

9 = 9b

divide both sides of the equation by 9

9/9 = 9b/9

1 = b
