Question

-10b + 5 = 7b + 5
step by step

Answer 1

b = 0

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−10b+5=7b+5

Step 1: Subtract 7b from both sides.

−10b+5−7b=7b+5−7b

−17b+5=5

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

−17b+5−5=5−5

−17b=0

Step 3: Divide both sides by -17.

−175/17 = 0/-17
