-5-5=-2-6b%2B7b Start with the given equation


-10=-2-6b%2B7b Combine like terms on the left side


-10=b-2 Combine like terms on the right side


0=b-2%2B10Add 10 to both sides


-b=-2%2B10 Subtract b from both sides


-b=8 Combine like terms on the right side


b=%288%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate b



b=-8 Divide
