To solve the equation \(5b = 3b - 6\), we first want to get all the terms involving \(b\) on one side of the equation.
1. Subtract \(3b\) from both sides:
\[
5b - 3b = -6
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2b = -6
\]
2. Next, divide both sides by 2 to isolate \(b\):
\[
b = \frac{-6}{2}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
b = -3
\]
So, the solution to the equation is:
\[
b = -3
\]
No rounding is needed as \(-3\) is a whole number.
