2b−3b+4=5
b=?
Let's first arrange the equation so that on the left-hand side we have the terms with the coefficient and on the right-hand side the numbers without the coefficient .
Remember that when we move terms across the equals sign, the plus and minus signs will change accordingly:
Let's now solve the subtraction exercise on both sides:
Finally, we can divide both sides by -1 to find our answer:
-1
