Answer: The correct option is
(C) b = 5.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of variable b in the following equation :
[tex]8-2b=-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
To find the value of b, we must solve the given equation.
From equation (i), we get
[tex]8-2b=-2\\\\\Rightarrow 2b=8+2\\\\\Rightarrow 2b=10\\\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow b=5.[/tex]
Thus, the required value of b is 5.
Option (C) is CORRECT.
