Question

need help with -6+5(-1-b)=19

Answer 1

If you are trying to solve for b then you just have to get b then you need to get b by itself.

-6+5(-1-b)=19

First you have to distribute the 5 to the (-1-b)

-6-5-5b=19

Then you need to add all your like terms

-11-5b=19

Now you need to get b by itself by adding 11 to both sides.

-5b=30

Now if you are multiplying now, you must do the oppotiste. Divide to get b by itself.

That will give you your answer.
