Answer:


\boxed {b = 3}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
b:


-5 (1-4b) - 5 = 34 + 7b - 1 - 4

-Use Distributive Property:


-5 (1-4b) - 5 = 34 + 7b - 1 - 4


-5 + 20b - 5 = 34 + 7b - 1 - 4

-Combine like terms:


-5 + 20b - 5 = 34 + 7b - 1 - 4


-10 + 20b = 29 + 7b

-Take
7b and subtract it from
20b:


-10 + 20b - 7b = 29 + 7b - 7b


-10 + 13b = 29

-Add
10 on both sides:


-10 + 10 + 13b = 29 + 10


13b = 39

-Divide both sides by
13:


(13b)/(13) = (39)/(13)


\boxed {b = 3}

Therefore, the value of
b is
3.
