Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation we need to solve is $-76=-3b-49$ . . We are solving for $b$ .

STEP 2

First, we need to isolate the term with $b$ on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding49 to both sides of the equation.
$-76 +49 = -b -49 +49$

STEP 3

implify both sides of the equation.
$-27 = -3b$

STEP 4

Now, we need to isolate $b$ by dividing both sides of the equation by -3.
$\frac{-27}{-3} = \frac{-3b}{-3}$

STEP 5

implify both sides of the equation to find the value of $b$ .
$b = \frac{-27}{-3} =9$ So, $b =9$ .
