13(b + 1) - 6 - 3b - 5

Question

`13(b + 1) - 6 - 3b - 5`

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's solve by distributing.


`13(b + 1) - 6 - 3b - 5 13b + 13 - 6 - 3b - 5`

Now we add/subtract like terms.


`13b + 13 - 6 - 3b - 5 13b + 7 - 3b - 5 13b + 2 - 3b 10b + 2`
Your final equation is
`10b + 2`, which cannot be simplified further, making it our final answer.

Hope I helped! :3
