Question 206734

{{{5-3(2b-3)=-4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5-6b+9=-4}}} Distribute.



{{{-6b+14=-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-6b=-4-14}}} Subtract {{{14}}} from both sides.



{{{-6b=-18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{b=(-18)/(-6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-6}}} to isolate {{{b}}}.



{{{b=3}}} Reduce.
