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.
