Answer:

b = - 14

Explanation:

Given

-
(5)/(6)(8 + 5b) = 75 +
(5)/(3) b

Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 6 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

- 5(8 + 5b) = 450 + 10b ← distribute left side

- 40 - 25b = 450 + 10b ( subtract 10b from both sides )

- 40 - 35b = 450 ( add 40 to both sides )

- 35b = 490 ( divide both sides by - 35 )

b = - 14
