OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine like terms what do u get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how to combine them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4b-b=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5 or -5b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok plug it in the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then it would be -6 - -5b= -11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrong -6 - 5b = -11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then you add the -6 and -11 together and get -17 then u divide both sides by 5 and get 3.4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrong you want to get rid of the -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo thats wrong when you add -6 and -11 you would get 5 then divide by both and the answer is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6 -5b = -11 +6 +6 ---------------- 0 - 5b = -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1 is right
