Answer:
b = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
-4(-5-b=1/3(b+16)
(b+16)
(−4)(−5)+(−4)(−b)=(1/3)(b)+(1/3)(16)(Distribute)
20+4b=1/3b+ 16/3
4b+20=1/3b+ 16/3
Step 2: Subtract 1/3b from both sides.
4b+20− 1/3b= 1/3b + 16/3 − 1/3b
11/3b + 20= 16/3
Step 3: Subtract 20 from both sides.
11/3b + 20−20= 16/3 −20
11/3b =−44/3
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/11.
(3/11)*(11/3b)=(3/11)*(−44/3)
b=−4
