b = 1 You can uses a simple series of steps to solve this equation rembering that anything you do to one side of the equation you must also do to the others side too. So first remove the &B from the first side of the equation, do this by taking 7 b away from each side. So...

<P>-5 + 7b = 8b - 6 becomes -5 = 1b -6... Now get rid of the -6 from the side that has 1b on it by adding +6 to both sides. This gives you -5 +6 which +1 on one side of the equation and 1b on the other side. So the solution is 1 = 1b therefore 1 = b.
