To solve the equation, we can start by isolating the variable "b". We can do this by performing the necessary operations to get rid of the constants and coefficients.
Let's begin:
- b/5 - 20 = -21
We can start by adding 20 to both sides of the equation:
- b/5 = -21 + 20
Simplifying the right side:
- b/5 = -1
To isolate b, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5:
5 * (- b/5) = 5 * (-1)
Simplifying:
- b = -5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is b = -5.
- b/5 - 20 = -21
