Question

Sovle for b ;3b-8=-5

Answer 1

Hopes this helps:

Answer: b = 1


Add 8 to both sides.
3b = -5 +8


Simplify -5 + 8 to 3.
3b = 3


Divide both sides by 3.
b = 1

Answer 2

b=1

Explanation:

First we need to isolate the variable (kind of like social distancing) well lets move -8 to the other side and make it positive since we moved it to the other side.

3b = -5+8

3b = 3

b = 1
