55-6(3b-1)=-11

Start by distributing the -6

Simplifying 55 + -6(3b + -1) = -11 Reorder the terms: 55 + -6(-1 + 3b) = -11 55 + (-1 * -6 + 3b * -6) = -11 55 + (6 + -18b) = -11 Combine like terms: 55 + 6 = 61 61 + -18b = -11 Solving 61 + -18b = -11 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-61' to each side of the equation. 61 + -61 + -18b = -11 + -61 Combine like terms: 61 + -61 = 0 0 + -18b = -11 + -61 -18b = -11 + -61 Combine like terms: -11 + -61 = -72 -18b = -72 Divide each side by '-18'. b = 4 Simplifying b = 4
