anonymous · Answer

I divided by 3b/3 cancel them out

anonymous · Answer

When i divide by 3 doe i put the 3 on the left or right?

rishavraj · Answer

45 = 3b + 69
45 - 45 = 3b + 69 - 45
0 = 3b + 24
-24 = 3b
so b = -8

anonymous · Answer

How is the 24 negative if it was subtracted by a bigger number 69-45 = 24

rishavraj · Answer

u get 
3b + 24 = 0
so
3b + 24 -24 = -24 
3b = -24
