Multiply 6 on both sides.

11b = 6b - 30

Subtract 6b on both sides.

5b = -30

Divide by 5 on both sides.

b = -6

Answer:

b = -6

Explanation:

11/6 b = b-5

Subtract b from each side

11/6 b - b = b-b-5

Get a common denominator on the right

11/6 b - 6/6 b = -5

5/6 b = -5

Multiply by 6/5 to isolate b

6/5 * 5/6 b = 6/5 *(-5)

b = -6
