What is -3b equals 96 plus b and please show your work?

Answer 1

It's a simple linear equation in 'b'. The question doesn't ask us to do any work.

The "solution" of the equation is the number that 'b' must be, in order to make

the equation a true statement.

The solution to this particular equation is [ b = -24].

The individual who posted the question is most likely enrolled in a class where the

basic operations of algebra have been covered, and this equation has been assigned

as a homework exercise, for practice in using them.

That individual needs to meet with the teacher and brush up on those operations.

It would be doing him serious harm to hand him a detailed solution, which he could

then submit and represent as his own work without understanding the process.
