Given the numerical equation:
8 + 3b = -13
Determine the equation.
Solution:
In order to determine the equation, we simply need to solve for b. To do so, we first need to transpose 8 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
8 + 3b = -13
3b = -13 - 8
3b = -21
Divide both sides by 3 in order to cancel out 3b, leaving behind b.
3b/3 = -21 / 3
b = -7
Final answer:
b = -7
