Answer:

Look Below ↓↓↓

Explanation:

Let's solve it and see if it is:-

$\bf -3=8-b$

Simplify both sides of the equation:-

$\bf -3=8-b$

$\bf -3=8+-b$

$\bf -3=-b+8$

Flip the equation:-

$\bf -b+8=-3$

Subtract 8 from both sides:-

$\bf -b+8-8=-3-8$

$\bf -b=-11$

Divide both sides by -1:-

$\bf \cfrac{-b}{-1}=\cfrac{-11}{-1}$

$\bf b=11$

Therefore, yes b = 11!!
