Hi!
The first thing we need to do is get 56b all by itself.
So to do that, we need to SUBTRACT 356 from NEGATIVE 812. This equals

56b = -1,168
Next just divide - 1,168/56 . The answer is not a whole number, so we start reducing the fraction. If we keep reducing, the answer is A. -17/2
I hope this helps!
