Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!!
Here,
[tex]5(1 - b) = 8(b + 2)[/tex]
[tex] \: \: \: \: \: 5 - 5b = 8b + 16[/tex]
[tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 8b + 5b = 5 - 16[/tex]
[tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 13b = - 11[/tex]
[tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: b = \frac{ - 11}{13} [/tex]
Therefore the value of b is -11/13.
Hope it helps...
Step-by-step explanation:
first open up the brackets according to BODMAS to get
5-5b=8b+16
then collect like terms together and make sure to change the sighns eg - becomes +
5-16=8b+5b
you get
-11=13b
then divide both sides with 13 to get b
-11/13=b ( you can leave as a negative decimal according to the question)
