Question8. [-/1.61 Points]
DETAILS MY NOTES OSCOLALG1 2.2.904.XP. Solve for the variable. $$8(5+1)-23 b=b$$ $b=$

Studdy Solution
Verify the solution by substituting $b = 2$ back into the original equation:
Original equation:
$$8(5 + 1) - 23b = b$$
Substitute $b = 2$:
$$8(6) - 23(2) = 2$$
Calculate each term:
$$48 - 46 = 2$$
This simplifies to:
$$2 = 2$$
Since both sides are equal, the solution is verified.
The solution is:
$$b = \boxed{2}$$
