38 = 5 (2-3) + 3b+1

b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming we're solving for b so here it goes!

38 = 5 (2-3) + 3b+1

38 = 5 (-1) + 3b+1

38 = - 5 + 3b+1

38 = - 4 + 3b

38 + 4 = - 4 + 4 + 3b

42 = 3b

42/3 = 3/b

14 = b

b = 14

B=4

Step-by-step explanation:

One solution was found:

b = 4

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

38 - (5 * (2*b-3) + 3*b+1) = 0

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Equation at the end of step 1:

38 - ((5 • (2b - 3) + 3b) + 1) = 0

Step 2:

Step 3:

Pulling out like terms:

3.1 Pull out like factors:

52 - 13b = - 13 • (b - 4)

Equation at the end of step 3:

-13 • (b - 4) = 0

Step 4:

Equations which are never true:

4.1 Solve : - 13 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.2 Solve : b-4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

b = 4

One solution was found:

b = 4
