Hola! First you want to.. Add '-14' to each side of the equation. 14 + -14 + -1b = 19 + -14

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Then you would want to... Combine like terms: 14 + -14 = 0 0 + -1b = 19 + -14 -1b = 19 + -14 Combine like terms: 19 + -14 = 5 -1b = 5

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Now what do you think is the next step?

OpenStudy (roxy.girl):

Divide? by -1?

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

yes, Divide each side by '-1'. What do you get?

OpenStudy (roxy.girl):

-5

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

There you go! :)

OpenStudy (roxy.girl):

so b=-5..

OpenStudy (qwertty123):
