-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms to get:
3b-13=-5-b
Add 13 to both sides:
3b= 8-b
Add b to both sides:
4b=8
Divide both sides by 4:
4b/4=8/4
b=2
Final answer
b=2

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the common denominator
The easiest way to do this is by multiplying the two given denominators, which are 2 and 5.
2 × 5 = 10
So, our common denominator is 10. Then, multiply the numerators of the two fractions by 2 and 5. Here's why:
=
We multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to make sure our new fraction stays equivalent to the original fraction.
Do the same thing for the other one:
= 
Finally, subtract the two fractions to find the difference between the two times:
= 
The reason we used the common denominator is because we can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominator.
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + 2(b - 6) - 17. a = -7 b = 2
= (-7)^2 - 2(2 - 6) - 17
= 49 - 4 + 12 - 17
= 40
4y - y + 7y
4y - y = 3y
3y + 7y = 10y
10y is your answer
hope this helps
