B/3+5=-2 Two Step Equation

Question 1

B/3+5=-2
Two Step Equation

Question 2

$\textsf{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{(b)/(3)+5=-2}$

$\mathsf{STEP\ ONE:}$
$\textsf{Simplify BOTH sides of your equation}$

$\mathsf{LIKE: \ (1)/(3)b + 5 = -2}$

$\textsf{STEP TWO: SUBTRACT by 5 on your sides}$

$\mathsf{(1)/(3)b+5-5=-2-5}$

$\textsf{Cancel out: 5 - 5 because it gives you 0}$

$\textsf{Keep: -2 - 5 because it helps us solve for our b value}$

$\mathsf{-2 - 5 =-7}$

$\mathsf{New\ equation: \underline{(1)/(3)b = -7}}$

$\textsf{STEP THREE: MULTIPLY both sides by 3}$

$\mathsf{3 *(1)/(3)b = 3*-7}$

$\mathsf{Cancel\ out: 3*(1)/(3)\ because\ it\ gives\ you\ 1}$

$\mathsf{Keep: 3*-7\ because\ it\ helps\ solve\ for\ b}$

$\mathsf{3*-7=-21}$

$\boxed{\textsf{Thus, your answer is most likely: \boxed{\mathsf{b = -21}}}}\checkmark$

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
