Answer:

  • b = 54

Explanation:


\sf -3\left(33b+65\right)=-95b-6b-87

Combine like terms:


\sf -3\left(33b+65\right)=-101b-87

Expand:-


\sf -99b-195=-101b-87

Add 195 to both sides:-


\sf -99b-195+195=-101b-87+195

Simplify:-


\sf -99b=-101b+108

Add 101b to both sides:-


\sf -99b+101b=-101b+108+101b

Simplify:-


\sf 2b=108

Divide both sides by 2:-


\sf \cfrac{2b}{2}=\cfrac{108}{2}

Simplify:-


\sf b=54

Therefore, your answer is b = 54!!
