Question

Solve for b.

2(b − 8) + –11 = 3

b =

Answer 1

b = 15

Explanation:

2 (b - 8) + -11 = 3

2b - 16 + -11 = 3

2b - 16 + -11 = 3

2b - 27 = 3

2b = 3 + 27

2b = 30

b = 30 ÷ 2

b = 15

Answer 2

`= > 2(b - 8) + - 11 = 3`

`= > 2b - 16 + - 11 = 3`

`= > 2b - 27= 3`

`= > 2b = 27 + 3`

`= > 2b = 30`

`= > b = (30)/(2)`

`=>b=15`
