Solve -3=3/5*3+b

$$-3= \frac{ 3 }{ 5 } \times 3+b$$

Solve for b

$$b = -\frac{24}{5} = -4\frac{4}{5} = -4.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express \frac{3}{5}\times 3 as a single fraction.

$$-3=\frac{3\times 3}{5}+b$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$-3=\frac{9}{5}+b$$

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

$$\frac{9}{5}+b=-3$$

Subtract \frac{9}{5} from both sides.

$$b=-3-\frac{9}{5}$$

Convert -3 to fraction -\frac{15}{5}.

$$b=-\frac{15}{5}-\frac{9}{5}$$

Since -\frac{15}{5} and \frac{9}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$b=\frac{-15-9}{5}$$

Subtract 9 from -15 to get -24.

$$b=-\frac{24}{5}$$
