Question

30 = -5(6b+6)
Please help

Answer 1

b = -2

Explanation:

30 = -5(6b+6)

30 = -30b - 30

60 = -30b

b = -60 : 30

b = -2

Answer 2

`\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}`

`30 = - 5(6b + 6)`

let's simplify the parenthesis first ~

`30 = - 30b - 30`

now , bring the like terms at one side of the equation !

`- 30b = 30 + 30`

`- 30b = 60`

dividing both sides of the equation by 30 ,

`\\ \frac{ - \cancel{30}b}{\cancel{30}} = \cancel(60)/(30) \\`

`\dashrightarrow \: - b = 2 \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: b = - 2`
