Hey there! :)
6 = 1 - b
Like I mentioned in my previous answer, we must isolate our variable. In this case, our variable is b.
So, our first step is to subtract 1 from both sides.
6 - 1 = 1 - b - 1
Simplify.
5 = b
Therefore, b = 5
~hope I helped~
For this case we have the following quadratic equation:

Where:

Its roots will be given by:

The roots are:

Answer:

The goal in solving an equation is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a number on the other side of the equation. To isolate the variable, we must reverse the operations acting on the variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. a12 = -5(12) + 32
step 2. a12 = -60 + 32
step 3. a12 = -28.
