How to solve the equation 8b - 12 = 5b

Mathematics
1 answer:
Virty [35]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b = 4

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

8b - 12 = 5b

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>b</u></em>

  1. Subtract 5b on both sides:                    3b - 12 = 0
  2. Add 12 on both sides:                            3b = 12
  3. Divide 3 on both sides:                          b = 4

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in b to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                  8(4) - 12 = 5(4)
  2. Multiply:                      32 - 12 = 20
  3. Subtract:                     20 = 20

And we have our final answer!

Multiply 4x(-3x - 5)
Scilla [17]
Using the distributive property the product is -12x-20. To distribute you take the numbers and or variables outside of the paranthesis and multiply it by each one in the parenthesis  such that 4x is multiplied by -3x getting -12x and multiplying 4x by -5 and the product is -20x and all together the answer is -12x-20
