Question

What is the solution of this equation? -9+7b=8b-7​

Answer 1

Answer:

$b=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-9+7b=8b-7\\-9+9+7b=8b-7+9 \leftarrow \text {Addition Property of Equality} \\7b+8b=2\\7b-8b+8b-8b=2\leftarrow \text {Subtraction Property of Equality} \\-b=2\\\frac{-b}{-1}=\frac{2}{-1} \leftarrow \text {Division Property of Equality}\\\boxed {b=-2}\\\\\huge\text {The value of 'b' should be -2}$
