Question

What are the steps to solving this problem? (how do you solve for b)

Answer 1

Answer:

-4/11

Step-by-step explanation:

     This cannot be a positive number because 1*-11=-11. This means all positive numbers will not work. It can't be more than less than -1 because -1*-11= 11. -4/11*-11=4

Answer 2

Answer:

b = -(4/11)

Step-by-step explanation:

-11b = 4

Division Property of Equality

b = -(4/11)

There’s not really any other way to explain it other than you divide both sides by -11.
