Question

1.9=−0.95(b+6)

b = ___
(type your answer as a number, "no solution" or "infinite solutions")

Answer 1

b = -8

Explanation:

Given:

`1.9=-0.95(b+6)`

We need to solve this to find the value of 'b'.

Solution:

On Solving the above equation we get;

First we will apply distributive property to solve the same we get;

`1.9=-0.95b-0.95*6\\\\1.9=-0.95b-5.7`

Now Using Addition property of equality we will add both side by 5.7 we get;

`1.9+5.7=-0.95b-5.7+5.7\\\\7.6=-0.95b`

Now Using Division property of equality dividing both side by -0.95 we get;

`(7.6)/(-0.95)=(-0.95b)/(-0.95)\\\\b=-8`

Hence The value of 'b' is -8.
