What value of b makes the statement true?



17 = b – (–6.2)





A.


–23.2


B.


–10.8


C.


10.8


D.


23.2

Answer 1

write it as 17 = b + 6.2 -> because a negative times negative is positive.

then you basically just want to get b by itself on one side of the equation

take the positive 6.2 and subtract it from both sides of the equation
17 = b + 6.2
-6.2 -6.2

17 - 6.2 = b

whats 17 - 6.2? --> 10.8

10.8 = b
therefore the value of b that makes this equation true is 10.8. Check your work by putting 10.8 in place of b
