Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

3(b-4)+5b=44        3b-12+5b=44      3b+5b=56     8b=56      56/8=7

Answer 2

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $\[3(b-4)+5b=44\]$.

Simplifying the equation,

$\[3b-12+5b=44\]$

$\[=> (3+5)b-12=44\]$

$\[=> 8b=44+12\]$

$\[=> 8b=56\]$

$\[=> b=\frac{56}{8}\]$

$\[=> b=7\]$

Hence the required value of b is 7

Validation:

$\[3(b-4)+5b\]$

$\[=3(7-4)+5*7\]$

$\[=3*3+5*7\]$

$\[=9+35\]$

$\[=44\]$
