                                      $\Rsh$ Hey! $\Lsh$

$\Rsh$Let's solve this! We can do this! $\Lsh$

>>> First, let's multiply -5 by b and 1. Then we obtain

$\pmb{-5b-5=8}$.

>>> Now we add 5 to both sides.

$\pmb{-5b=13}$

>>> And then, divide both sides by -5.

$\pmb{b=-\dfrac{13}{5}}$

>>> That is the value of b.
