Question

-2(bx-5)=16 slove for b
​

Answer 1

b= -3/x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for b in the equation

-2(bx-5)=16

multiply the terms in the bracket by -2

-2bx + 10 = 16

subtract 10 from both sides of the equation

-2bx + 10 - 10 = 16 -10

-2bx = 6

divide both sides of the equation by -2x

-2bx/-2x = 6/-2x

b = -3/x

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

SADMEP

-2(bx-5) = 16 distribute

-2bx +10 = 16 subtracte

-10 -10

-2bx = 6

divide by -2x (on both sides)

b = -3x
