Answer:
A) -8
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to make the whole equation equal to zero. so rewrite the equation and equal it to zero. Write all numerators above the common denominator
3(b-5)+1-(5b+2) over 3b equal zero
Then remove parentheses
3b-15+1-5b-2 over 3b equals zero
Then collect the like terms
Calculate
-2b-16 over 3b equals zero
Then set the numerator equal to zero
-2b-16=0
Then move constant to the right
-2b=16
Then divide both sides by -2
b=-8
