Question

A. 2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b – 5

Answer 1

Solution
-3b + 11 = -18 + 8b
-3b - 8b = -18 - 11
-11b = -29
b = 29/11

Answer 2

First combine like terms on both sides of the equation.
-3b+11=-18+8b
Then, put the variable on one side by subtracting 8b on both sides.
-11b+11=-18
Next, subtract 11 from both sides.
-11b=-29
Finally, you get -29/-11

Hope this helped : )
