What is the solution to the linear equation? = -12 + 3b - 1 =-5 - b​

Okay so first let’s bring the variables to one side and the constants on the other side of the equal sign. (Remember that the sign changes for every coefficient/variable/constant.):

3b + b = -5 + 1 + 12

Add like terms:

4b = 8

Now you have to both sides by 4 considering that’s the biggest number 4 and 8 are divisible by:

b = 2

Your solution is b = 2

The answer is b) 32 your welcome
