Answer 1

Let's solve the equations step by step.

1. Start with the first equation:

   \[ 4b + 15 + 8 = -13 \]

   Combine like terms on the left side:

   \[ 4b + 23 = -13 \]

2. Next, we subtract 23 from both sides to isolate the term with \( b \):

   \[ 4b + 23 - 23 = -13 - 23 \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ 4b = -36 \]

3. Now, divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( b \):

   \[ b = \frac{-36}{4} \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ b = -9 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ b = -9 \]
