What is the solution to the liner equation

-12+3b-1=-5-b

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12+3b-1=-5-b

Combine like terms

-13 + 3b = - 5-b

Add b to each side

-13+3b+b = - 5-b+b

-13+4b = - 5

Add 13 to each side

-13+13 + 4b = - 5+13

4b = 8

Divide by 4

4b/4 = 8/4

b = 2

Answer: B=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12+3b-1=-5-b Equation

-5+12+1=8 Adding the common number together

3b+b=4b Adding the b's together

4b=8 solution

/4 to each side (division)

b=2

When you add the numbers together it adds or subtracts from both sides so it will end up being the opposite of what it was originally (all negative become positive. But will be on the other side)
