Answer:
no solution
Explanation:
5+b = -b - 2(1-b)
First, use distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis.
5+b = -b - 2 + 2b
Then combine like terms.
5+b = -2 + b
Try to get the variable on one side of the equation. We're going to subtract b from both sides, but something weird is going to happen.
5+b = -2+b
5 = -2 Wuuuu??!!??
Okay that's not true. We tried to get all the b's together but the b's just fell out of the equation. AND left behind a false statement.
This means that there is no solution.
There is NO number that you can fill in for b that will make a true statement.
No solution.
