Question

-9b-6=-3b +48
Step by step

Answer 1

b = -9

Explanation:

1. Move the variables to the left side. Be sure to change the terms (add/subtract)

-9b-6 = -3b+48

-9b+3b-6 = 48

2. Combine like terms.

-9b+3b-6 = 48

-6b = 48 + 6

3. Divide both sides by -6.

-6b = 54

b = -9

Answer 2

`b=-9`

Explanation:

Given Equation:

`-9b-6=-3b +48`

Taking the terms of variable 'b' to one side and the constants to the other side:

Adding '
`3b`' both the sides:

`-9b+3b-6=-3b+3b +48\\\\-6b-6=48`

Adding '6' both the sides:

`-6b-6+6=48+6\\\\-6b=54`

Dividing by '
`-6`' both the sides:

`b=(54)/(-6)\\\\ b=-9`

The solution of the equation is :
`b=-9`
