To solve this equation, we need to simplify it step by step.
First, let's combine the terms with b in the numerator:
b/17 - 8b/17 = 63/17
(1 - 8)b/17 = 63/17
-7b/17 = 63/17
Next, we can multiply both sides by 17 to get rid of the denominators:
-7b = 63
Finally, we can isolate b by dividing both sides by -7:
b = -9
Therefore, the solution to the equation b/17 - 8b/17 = 63/17 is b = -9.
b/17-8b/17=63/17
