Not sure how the problem is set up as I see a space between the minus sign and the 12 but not between the minus and the 2. But, using the numbers as written: To solve for b, you must form an equation (-5b -12 -2 = 0). Next you must separate the known numbers from the unknown by adding the sum of the knowns to both sides of the equation (-5b = 14). Then divide both sides of the equation by -5 to find the value of b (b = -2.8). No no no no no. It is -5b-14 because the -5b has no relation to the others so it stays as it is and then -12-2=-14 thus getting -5b-12-2=-5b-14. Cool.

-5b - 12 -2 what is b?
To solve for b, you must form an equation (-5b -12 -2 = 0). Next you must separate the known numbers from the unknown by adding the sum of the knowns to both sides of the equation (-5b = 14). Then divide both sides of the equation by -5 to find the value of b (b = -2.8).
Does 7b minus 2 equal 5b?

If 8b plus 11-3b equals 2b plus 2 what is b?
8b + 11 - 3b = 2b + 2 5b + 11 = 2b + 2 5b - 2b = 2 - 11 3b = -9 b = -3
What is the reciprocal of 2-5i?
Let a + bi be the reciprocal. So (a + bi)(2 - 5i) = 1 (a + bi)(2 - 5i) = 2a - 5ai + 2bi + 5b = (2a + 5b) + (2b - 5a)i Therefore 2a + 5b = 1 and 2b - 5a = 0. Solving the simultaneous equations, we find that a = 2/29 and b = 5/29. So the reciprocal of 2 - 5i is 2/29 + 5i/29.

-5b - 12 -2 what is b?
To solve for b, you must form an equation (-5b -12 -2 = 0). Next you must separate the known numbers from the unknown by adding the sum of the knowns to both sides of the equation (-5b = 14). Then divide both sides of the equation by -5 to find the value of b (b = -2.8).
