Question

–24(b − 966) = –768

b = _______

Answer 1

b = 998

Explanation:

`-24(b-966)=-768\\-24b+23184=-768\\-24b=-23,952\\24b=23,952\\b=998`

Answer 2

b = 998

Explanation:

first distribute the -24

-24b + 23184 = -768

then subtract 23184 on both sides to get

-24b = -23952

then divide -24 on both sides to get

b = 998

then to make sure it is correct you plug it back in

-24(998-966) = -768
