Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2b+1=16−3b
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2b+1=16−3b
2b+1=16+−3b
2b+1=−3b+16
Step 2: Add 3b to both sides.
2b+1+3b=−3b+16+3b
5b+1=16
Step 3: Subtract 1 from both sides.
5b+1−1=16−1
5b=15
Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.
5b/5=15/5
<em>answer: b=3</em>

Answer:
y -4 = -1/3(x -9)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of the equation for a line is useful for this.
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line through point (h, k) with slope m
You are given (h, k) = (9, 4) and m = -1/3. Putting these values into the form gives the equation ...
y -4 = -1/3(x -9)
