Solve -13/5*5+b=12

$$- 1 \frac { 3 } { 5 } \cdot 5 + b = 12$$

Solve for b

$$b=20$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

$$5\left(-\frac{1\times 5+3}{5}\right)\times 5+5b=60$$

Multiply 1 and 5 to get 5.

$$5\left(-\frac{5+3}{5}\right)\times 5+5b=60$$

Add 5 and 3 to get 8.

$$5\left(-\frac{8}{5}\right)\times 5+5b=60$$

Cancel out 5 and 5.

$$-8\times 5+5b=60$$

Multiply -8 and 5 to get -40.

$$-40+5b=60$$

Add 40 to both sides.

$$5b=60+40$$

Add 60 and 40 to get 100.

$$5b=100$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$b=\frac{100}{5}$$

Divide 100 by 5 to get 20.

$$b=20$$
