Solve for b.
8b−1=24b+4
8b−1=24b+4
Solve for b.
8b−1=24b+4
ANSWER
\(b = - \frac{5}{16}\)
EXPLANATION
The given equation is
\(8b - 1 = 24b + 4\)
We want to solve for b in the given equation.
Let us group like terms to get,
\(8b - 24b = 4 + 1\)
We simplify both sides of the equation to obtain,
\(- 16b = 5\)
We divide both sides by -16 to get,
\(\frac{ - 16b}{ - 16} = \frac{5}{ - 16}\)
We now cancel out the common factors to obtain,
\(b = - \frac{5}{16}\)
Answer:
8^b−1=24^b+4 the correct answer is 7, I took the test, and got it wrong when i entered -5/16.
Step-by-step explanation: You need to enter the exponent signs so that we can answer this correctly, and so that we get the right answers. Thankyou for trying though. And I hope that this helps.
