Question

-6b+119=5-3(-6+6b) please help

Answer 1

b = -8.

Explanation:

-6b + 119 = 5 - 3(-6 + 6b)

Step 1: Distribute the negative sign in front of the 3:

you will get this because you multiply everything inside of () by 3

(if its negative always make it positive)

-6b + 119 = 5 + 18 - 18b

Step 2: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation:

-6b + 119 = 23 - 18b

Step 3: Add 18b to both sides of the equation to get the variable terms on one side:

12b + 119 = 23

Step 4: Subtract 119 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

12b = -96

Step 5: Divide both sides by 12 to solve for b:

b = -8
