Equation: -4b+10=-2

Step 1. Flip the equation.

10 + -4b = -2

Step 2. Add -10 to each sides of the equation.

10 + -10 + -4b = -2 + -10

Step 3. Finally combine all like terms.

10 + -10 = 0

0 + -4b = -2 + -10

-4b = -2 + -10

Step 4. Combine again.

-2 + -10 = -12

-4b = -12

Step 5. Divide each side of the equation by -4.

b = 3

Answer: b = 3

Hope I could help! :)
