Answer:

b = -1

Step-by-step explanation: I put all the like terms together by moving 6b and -2/5, which then changed their signs to negative and positive, respectively.

7b-2/5 = 6b-7/5

7b-6b = 2/5-7/5

b = -1

I hope this helps. :)

Answer:

b = -1

Explanation:

here's your solution

=> 7b - 2/5 = 6b - 7/5

=> 7b - 6b = -7/5 + 2/5

=> b = (-7+2)/5

=> b = -5/5

= b = -1

hope it helps
