Question

-5/6(8+5b) = 75+5/3 b

Answer 1

Answer:

b = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- $\frac{5}{6}$(8 + 5b) = 75 + $\frac{5}{3}$ b

Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 6 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

- 5(8 + 5b) = 450 + 10b ← distribute left side

- 40 - 25b = 450 + 10b ( subtract 10b from both sides )

- 40 - 35b = 450 ( add 40 to both sides )

- 35b = 490 ( divide both sides by - 35 )

b = - 14

Answer 2

I think it’s b= -14
