-5=-1/2 (-6)-b

- 5 = - \frac{1}{2} (- 6) - b

b = 8

Solution steps

- 5 = - \frac{1}{2} (- 6) - b

Move

b

to the left side

- 5 + b = - \frac{1}{2} (- 6)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

- 5 + b = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 6

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

- 5 + b = \frac{1 \cdot 6}{2}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 6 = 6

- 5 + b = \frac{6}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{6}{2} = 3

- 5 + b = 3

Move

5

to the right side

b = 8

c = x - a

z = \frac{- 3}{2} + \frac{3 i}{2}

t, v = u + t

5 (- 8 x - 3) = x + 1

y, 5 x + 2 y = 6
