Chapter 1, Problem 5CR

To determine

To calculate:

Given equation.

Answer to Problem 5CR

Solution of the given equation will be $b=-5$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $6=1-b$

Calculation:

Here, given equation is $6=1-b$ .

For solving the equation, isolate the variable by performing operations to both sides of equation.

For checking substitute the value of variable in the original equation.

  $3y+11=-16$

Add $b$ to both sides,

  $6+b=1-b+b$

Simplify,

  $6+b=1$

Subtract $6$ from both sides,

  $6+b-6=1-b$

Simplify,

  $b=-5$

Thus solution of the given equation will be $b=-5$ .
