Solve the equation 5 (b-2) = -10

b = 0

Steps for solving:

1. Start by distributing the 5 through the parentheses on the left side

2. This leaves us with 5b - 10 = - 10

3. Now isolate the term containing b by adding 10 to both sides

4. This leaves us with 5b = 0

5. Dividing both sides by 5, we find that b = 0.
