Question

-2(bx-5)=16 The value of x in terms of b is

.

The value of x when b is 3 is
.

Answer 1

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

−2(3x−5)=16

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(3x−5)=16

(−2)(3x)+(−2)(−5)=16(Distribute)

−6x+10=16

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

−6x+10−10=16−10

−6x=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -6.

Answer:

x=−1

Let's solve for b.

−2(bx−5)=16

Step 1: Add -10 to both sides.

−2bx+10+−10=16+−10

−2bx=6

Step 2: Divide both sides by -2x.

−2bx/−2x=6/−2x

b=-3/x

Answer:

b=

−3/x
