Question

Solve the equation: -|b+4|+1=10

Answer 1

The final answer should be -5

Answer 2

-|b+4|+1=10 
first step is to subtract one from both sides leaving 
-b+4=9
then subtract 4 from both sides
-b=5
then divide by negative 1 to make b positive and 5 negative 
so your final answer should be 
b=-5
