Full solution

Q. Solve for bb.\newlineb+10b+2b+17=6-b + 10b + 2b + 17 = 6\newlineb=b = __
  1. Combine like terms: Combine like terms to simplify the equation.\newlineb+10b+2b+17=6-b + 10b + 2b + 17 = 6\newline(10bb+2b)+17=6(10b - b + 2b) + 17 = 6\newline(9b+2b)+17=6(9b + 2b) + 17 = 6\newline11b+17=611b + 17 = 6
  2. Subtract to isolate: Subtract 1717 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable bb. \newline11b+1717=61711b + 17 - 17 = 6 - 17\newline11b=1111b = -11
  3. Divide to solve: Divide both sides by 1111 to solve for bb.\newline11b11=1111\frac{11b}{11} = \frac{-11}{11}\newlineb=1b = -1
