Answer:

b = 10

Explanation:

We can first use the distributive property to pen the parenthesis,

-2(3x - 5) = -6x + b

(-2)(3x) + (-2)(-5) = -6x + b

-6x + 10 = -6x + b

Adding 6x on both sides gives us,

-6x + 10 (+6x) = -6x + b (+6x)

10 = b, or b = 10

If you want to find x, x can be any real number.
