Answer: x=-3/3=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in terms of b, simply treat b as a number, and solve for x as usual: first of all, we expand the left hand side:

-2bx+10=16

Subtract 10 from both sides:

-2bx=6

Divide both sides by -2b:

x=6/-2b=-3/b

This means that in particular, if we set b=3 , we have

x=-3/3=-1
