4b+5=l+5b

solve for b

1 answer

To solve for b, we need to isolate b on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation 4b + 5 = l + 5b, we can rearrange it to group all the b terms together.

First, subtract 5b from both sides:

4b - 5b + 5 = l

Simplifying the b terms:

- b + 5 = l

Next, subtract 5 from both sides:

- b = l - 5

Finally, to solve for b, we can multiply both sides by -1 to make b positive:

b = -1 * (l - 5)

Therefore, the solution for b is b = -l + 5.
