Question

2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5

Answer 1

Answer:

The final value of  $b=\frac{29}{11}$  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5$

We have to find the value of $b.$

$2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5$

Steps to be followed:

• Step 1:Bring all the variables one left side of the equation.

Subtract 8b both side.

$2b + 8 - 5b + 3-8b = -13 + 8b - 5-8b$

$2b - 5b -8b+ 3 +8= -13 - 5$

• Step 2:Add the variable and constants on each side.

$2b - 5b -8b+ 3 +8= -13 - 5$

$-11b+11=-18$

• Step 3:Subtract 11 on both side.

$-11b+11=-18$

$-11b+11-11=-18-11$

$-11b=-29$

• Step 4:Divide -11 on both sides of the equation.

$-11b=-29$

$b=\frac{-29}{-11} =\frac{29}{11}$

So the final value of b is 29/11.
