What Is The Answer To This Question : ?

8-(3+b)=b-9
--------------
That's not a question. It's a statement.
It says that 8-(3+b) is equal to b-9
-----
If you want to solve for b, you should say, "Solve for b."
But at least you didn't say, "What is 8-(3+b)=b-9 ? "
---
8-(3+b)=b-9
8 -3-b = b-9
5-b = b-9
14 - b = b
14 = 2b
b = 7
