Question

-3b+8=2b+48

Plz help I don't think I am doing this right

Answer 1

-3b+8=2b+48
-2 -2
you want to get b by itself so to do that you need to subtract 2 from both sides
-5b+8=48
-8 -8
-5b=40
now to get b by itself you divide both sides by

Answer 2

b=-8

Answer 3

Well, to see if this is true...

8 - (-3) = b
48 - 2 = b

If those two bs are the same, then you have the right answer, if not, I think ti would be called a "no solution".
