To solve this equation, you have to substract b with b and numbers with numbers first :

<span>2b + 4 + 5b + 7 = - 10</span>
7b + 11 =-10

Afterwards, you combine letters at the left and the numbers at the right :

7b = -21

Now instead of getting 7b, we want to obtain just b, therefore we divide by 7 in each member.

b = -21/7
b = -3.

Therefore, the answer is A. -3.

Hope this helps !

It's A, just as I said before,
7b + 11 =-10
7b = -21
b = -21/7
b = -3

Jack was planting a tree. He was to dig a hole that was 3 feet deep for every 5 feet of tree height. How deep should he dig the hole for a tree that is 17feet high.

Calculations

$\frac{DEEP}{HIEGHT}$

Cross multiplication

$\frac{3 DEEP}{5 HIEGHT}$ = $\frac{x}{13}$

5x = 2 x 13

Divide by 5 to isolate x

$\frac{5x}{5}$ = $\frac{51}{5}$

x = 10.2

Answer = 10.2
