Respuesta :
The answer would be b = -4.
-4b = 18 - 2 (subtract 2 from both sides)
-4b = 16 (simplify 18 - 2 to 16)
b = 16/-4 (divide both sides by -4)
b = -4. (simplify 16/4 to 4).
-4b = 18 - 2 (subtract 2 from both sides)
-4b = 16 (simplify 18 - 2 to 16)
b = 16/-4 (divide both sides by -4)
b = -4. (simplify 16/4 to 4).
