Answer:
b = - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- (8 + 5b) = 75 +
b
Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 6 and 3 ) to clear the fractions
- 5(8 + 5b) = 450 + 10b ← distribute left side
- 40 - 25b = 450 + 10b ( subtract 10b from both sides )
- 40 - 35b = 450 ( add 40 to both sides )
- 35b = 490 ( divide both sides by - 35 )
b = - 14
