Hey there!


3-3k+7k=5b

Assuming you're trying to solve for b or k, I'll solve both.

Solve for b:


3-3k+7k=5b

We will need to flip the equation:


5b=4k+3

Now, let's divide both sides by 5:


(5b)/(5) =(4k+3)/(5)


b=(4)/(5) k+(3)/(5)

Solve for k:


3-3k+7k=5b

Let's add -3 to both sides:


4k+3+-3=5b+-3\\4k=5b-3

Now, let's divide both sides by 4:


(4k)/(4) =(5b-3)/(4)


k=(5)/(4) b+(-3)/(4)

Now, we've solved for b and k.

Hope this helps!
