b%2B3%2B10=6%289b-8%29-10%286b%2B10%29 Start with the given equation



b%2B3%2B10=54b-48-60b-100 Distribute


b%2B13=54b-48-60b-100 Combine like terms on the left side


b%2B13=-6b-148 Combine like terms on the right side


b=-6b-148-13Subtract 13 from both sides


b%2B6b=-148-13 Add 6b to both sides


7b=-148-13 Combine like terms on the left side


7b=-161 Combine like terms on the right side


b=%28-161%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate b



b=-23 Divide

Answer:
So our answer is b=-23
