-4(-5-b)=1/3(b+16) Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction -12(-5-b)=b+16 distribute the -12 to get rid of the parenthesis 60+12b=b+16 get the b on the left side and non b values to the right side 11b=-44 solve for b b=-44/11 simplify the fraction b=-4
3/5(t+18)=-3(2-t) multiply both sides by 5/3 to get rid of thefraction t+18=-5(2-t) distribute the -5 to get rid of the parenthises t+18=-10+5t get the t to the left side and non t values to the right -4t=-28 solve for t t=7
