Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5b + 8 - 2b = 7b

Combine like terms

3b+8 = 7b

Subtract 3b from each side

3b+8-3b = 7b-3b

8 = 4b

Divide each side by 4

8/4 = 4b/4

2 =b

Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5b + 8 + -2b = 7b

Reorder the terms:

8 + 5b + -2b = 7b

Combine like terms: 5b + -2b = 3b

8 + 3b = 7b

Solving

8 + 3b = 7b

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7b' to each side of the equation.

8 + 3b + -7b = 7b + -7b

Combine like terms: 3b + -7b = -4b

8 + -4b = 7b + -7b

Combine like terms: 7b + -7b = 0

8 + -4b = 0

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -4b = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -4b = 0 + -8

-4b = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8

-4b = -8

Divide each side by '-4'.

b = 2

Simplifying

b = 2

Conjunction and disconjuction​
maks197457 [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

When two statements are connected with an 'and,' you have a conjunction.

For conjunctions, both statements must be true for the compound statement to be true.

When the connector between two statements is "or," you have a disjunction. In this case, only one statement in the compound statement needs to be true for the entire compound statement to be true.
