To solve for b, first we need to get rid of the constant term (−25) on the left side of the equation.
−25 + 4/9b = −21
Add 25 to both sides:
4/9b = 4
Now we can isolate b by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 4/9:
b = 9/4 * 4
b = 9
Therefore, the solution to the equation is b = 9.
−25+4/9b= −21
