Verified Answer :

I assume the expression is written this way,
                                b(0.6) = -1
or this can be better written as,
                                 0.6b = -1
To answer the question, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.6 and that will give us an answer of,
                               b = -1/0.6 = -5/3

Answer:

value of b is, -1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

\(b+0.6=1\)

Subtraction property of equality states that you subtract the same number to both sides of an equation.

Subtract 0.6 to both sides of an equation [1]

\(b+0.6-0.6 = -1-0.6\)

Simplify:

\(b = -1-0.6\)

⇒\(b =-1.6\)

Therefore, the value of b is, -1.6
