5(b + 6) = 18 A. 9.6 B. -2.4 C. 2.4 D. 3.6
2 answers:
The first step for solving this is to distribute 5 through the parenthesis.
5b + 30 = 18
Now move the constant to the right side of the equation and change its sign.
5b = 18 - 30
Calculate the difference between the two numbers on the right side of the equation.
5b = -12
Lastly,, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 5.
b = -
You can convert this fraction into a decimal by dividing the top of the fraction by the bottom. When you do this you should get -2.4 which will make the correct answer to your question option B.

<h3><em>Hey there today we will solve your problem,</em></h3>
Number 1
_______________
<h3>Definitions</h3>- Vertical angles - <em>either of two angles lying on opposite sides of two intersecting lines.</em>
<em />
- Linear Pair - <em>A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect.</em>
_______________
Now we can solve Number 1, there is one pair of Vertical angles being ∠5 and ∠3
_______________
Number 2
Since we know the definition of a Linear Pair we can solve this problem also, the only Linear Pair that we can choose out the ones give to us is ∠4 and ∠3, because they are adjacent.
_______________
- ∠5 and ∠3
2. ∠4 and ∠3
