\boxed{\underline{\bf \: ANSWER}}


\sf \: 120 = - 8(5b - 5) \\ \sf \: \: Remove \: the \: brackets \: and \: multiply \: 8 \: and \: 5\: \\ \\ \sf \: 120 = - 40b + 40 \\ \sf \: 120 - 40 = - 40b \\ \sf \: 80 = - 40b \\ \sf ( 80)/( 40) = - b \\ \sf \: ( \bcancel80)/( \bcancel40) = - b \\ \sf \: 2 = - b \\ \longrightarrow \: \boxed{\underline{\bf - 2 = b}}
