Question

2b+8-5b+3=-13+8b-5 solve the equation

Answer 1

b = 29/11

Explanation:

2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5

-3b + 11 = -18 + 8b

-11b + 11 = -18

-11b = -29

b = 29/11

Answer 2

b ≈ 2.636.

Explanation:

First, we can simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms:

2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5

-3b + 11 = 8b - 18

Next, we can isolate the variable term on one side of the equation by adding 3b to both sides:

-3b + 3b + 11 = 8b - 18 + 3b

11 = 11b - 18

Then, we can isolate the variable term again by adding 18 to both sides:

11 + 18 = 11b - 18 + 18

29 = 11b

Finally, we can solve for b by dividing both sides by 11:

29/11 = b

b ≈ 2.636

Therefore, the solution to the equation is b ≈ 2.636.
