You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-10b - 7 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "First think is to add 7 to both sides;
\n" ); document.write( "-10b-7+7=9+7
\n" ); document.write( "-10b=16
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide each side by -10;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10b%2F-10\"$ = $\"16%2F-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "That leaves us with;
\n" ); document.write( "b= $\"16%2F-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Reduce;
\n" ); document.write( "b=-1 $\"3%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps
