Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide by -2 from both sides of an equation.


(-2b)/(-2)= (44)/(-2)

And then, simplify.


44/2=22

It change positive to negative sign.


\boxed{b=-22}

I hope this helps!

Thank you!

Have a great day!

-2b=44 divided both sides by -2

-2b/-2=44/-2 -2 on the left side cancels out

b= -22 is your answer
