Question

please help, and may you explain it? :( also there IS a negative on the 6 if you were wondering... c:

Answer 1

b= -6.

Explanation:

To do this, we will need to distribute the '5' to simplify this equation:

-6+5·(-1)+5·(-b)=19

-6-5-5b=19

Now, continue simplifying:

-11-5b=19

-5b=30

-5b=30

Divide both sides by -5, giving us:

b=-6. Here is your answer! Have a great day!
