Answer 24

Does everything make a bit more sense now? :)

Answer 25

-11=b-9

Answer 26

lets see if i can do this

Answer 27

minus -11 both sides?

Answer 28

Close. You have to get rid of what is next to the variable (letter) you want to solve for. You have to get that letter by itself, so there is nothing next to it.

Answer 29

ok so minus -9 both sides

Answer 30

b= 20?

Answer 31

Add 9 to both sides. You have to the opposite to get rid of on the same side that b is on.

Answer 32

so b is not 20?

Answer 33

b = -2

Answer 34

but if you minus a negative by a negative your answer comes out positive how is tht possible??
