- b/5 - 20 = -21

1 answer

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.
