Question

Solve for b -(b + 79) = -26

Answer 1

Answer:

b = -50

Step-by-step explanation:

so first were gonna put the - sign to both b and 79 giving us:

-b -79 = -29

then we add 79 to both sides and get 50

-b = 50

then you divide by negative

b = -50

-(-50 +79) = -26

Answer 2

Answer:

$b = - 53$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-(b + 79) = -26 \\ - b - 79 = - 26 \\ - b = 79 - 26 \\ - b = 53 \\ b = - 53$
