5/4b+7=7/8b+19

What is the answer for b

1. Cross multiply

5 (8b+19) = 7 (4b+7)

2. Expand

40b+95=28b+49

3. Subtract 28b from both sides

40b+95-28b=49

4. Simplify 49b+95-28b to 12b+95

12b+95=49

5. Subtract 95 from both sides

12b=49-95

6. Simplify 49-95 to - 46

12b=-46

7. Divide both sides by 12

b=46/12

8. Simplify 46/12 to 23/6

b=-23/6
