Hello there!

In this problem we are trying to find the value of b in the given equation: 8 + 3b = -13. To do this, we have to isolate b.

The first step is to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

8 - 8 + 3b = -13 - 8

3b = - 21

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 3.

3b÷3 = -21÷3

b = -7

So, -7 is your final answer!
