9=-5b-23
9+23=-5b
32=-5b
32/-5=b. ..(here 32/-5= 32 upon -5)
-6.4=b
14 - x = 21
First, subtract 14 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: -x = 21 - 14
Second, simplify 21 - 14 to get 7. / Your problem should look like: -x = 7
Third, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: x = -7
Answer: x = -7
0.015x+0.03(12000-x)=300
Solve for x
X=4000 at 1.5%
12000-4000=8000 at 3%
