Question

What is the value of b 2b + 8 − 5b + 3 = −13 + 8b − 5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2b-5b+8+3 = - 13 - 5 +5b

-3b + 11 = -18 +5b

11+18 = 5b + 3b

29 = 8b

29/8 = b

3.625 = b

Answer 2

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

2b + 8 − 5b + 3 = −13 + 8b − 5

Reorder like terms.

2b-5b+8+3=8b-13-5

Combine those like terms. Then solve.

-3b+11=8b-18

      -11       -11

-3b=8b-29

-8b -8b

-11b=-29

/-11    /-11

b=2.64
