[tex]\Rsh[/tex]Let's solve this! We can do this! [tex]\Lsh[/tex]
>>> First, let's multiply -5 by b and 1. Then we obtain
[tex]\pmb{-5b-5=8}[/tex].
>>> Now we add 5 to both sides.
[tex]\pmb{-5b=13}[/tex]
>>> And then, divide both sides by -5.
[tex]\pmb{b=-\dfrac{13}{5}}[/tex]
>>> That is the value of b.
