Hi, here’s what I did First switch sides -8+9(b+4) =-34 Then add 8 to both sides -8+9(b+4) +8 =-34+8 Then simplify 9(b+4) =-26 Divide both sides by 9 9(b+4) over 9 = -26 over 9 Simplify B+4 =-26 over 9 Subtract 4 from both sides B+4-4=-26/9 (over 9) -4 Simplify and get -62/9 (over 9) Hope this helps :)
