Question

What is the solution to the linear equation? –12 3b – 1 = –5 – b b = –2 b = –1.5 b = 1.5 b = 2

Answer 1

The solution of the linear system is given by using an arithmetic operation. Then the value of b is 2.

What is the linear system?

A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.

The linear equation is given below.

–12 + 3b – 1 = –5 – b

The value of b will be given as

Add b both sides, we have

–12 + b + 3b – 1 = –5 – b + b

           –13 + 4b = –5

Add 13 on both sides, we have

13 – 13 + 4b = – 5 + 13

              4b = 8

Divide both sides by 4, we have

b = 2
