To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below: You have the following equation given in the problem above: <span>-2(bx - 5) = 16 </span> When you solve for bx, you have: <span>-2(bx - 5) = 16 -2bx-10=16 -2bx=26 bx=26/-2 bx=-13
When you solve for b, you obtain: </span><span>-2(bx - 5) = 16 -2bx=26 b=-(26/2x)
When yoo solve for x: </span>2bx=26 x=-(26/2b)<span>
