Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     5*(-b-2)-(-4*b-9-1)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   -b - 2  =   -1 • (b + 2) 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  -5 • (b + 2) -  (-4b - 10)  = 0 

Step  3  :

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -b  = 0 

Step  4  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.1      Solve  :    -b = 0 

 Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  b = 0
