(5b + -9) + -3(8 + -2b) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(-9 + 5b) + -3(8 + -2b) = 0
Remove parenthesis around (-9 + 5b)
-9 + 5b + -3(8 + -2b) = 0
-9 + 5b + (8 * -3 + -2b * -3) = 0
-9 + 5b + (-24 + 6b) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-9 + -24 + 5b + 6b = 0
Combine like terms: -9 + -24 = -33
-33 + 5b + 6b = 0
Combine like terms: 5b + 6b = 11b
-33 + 11b = 0
Solving
-33 + 11b = 0
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '33' to each side of the equation.
-33 + 33 + 11b = 0 + 33
Combine like terms: -33 + 33 = 0
0 + 11b = 0 + 33
11b = 0 + 33
Combine like terms: 0 + 33 = 33
11b = 33</span>
