Solve -35/9=1-b

$$- \frac { 35 } { 9 } = 1 - b$$

Solve for b

$$b = \frac{44}{9} = 4\frac{8}{9} \approx 4.888888889$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$1-b=-\frac{35}{9}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$-b=-\frac{35}{9}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{9}{9}.

$$-b=-\frac{35}{9}-\frac{9}{9}$$

Since -\frac{35}{9} and \frac{9}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-b=\frac{-35-9}{9}$$

Subtract 9 from -35 to get -44.

$$-b=-\frac{44}{9}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$b=\frac{44}{9}$$
