Kadyn Hodge · Answer 1

Combine like terms which would make it -

-b - 8 = 0

add 8 to both sides -

-b = 8

divide both sides by - 1 to get b positive which gives you the answer of

b = 8

Janelle Adams · Answer 2

b = 8

Since 6b and 5b have the same variables, you can subtract them both. 1b, but I'd perfer just b. Then, swap the - 8 to the other side. It makes it positive. So it's b = 8.
