Solve 1(-4.94b-19.24)=-4b-28.64

$$1 ( - 4.94 b - 19.24 ) = - 4 b - 28.64$$

Solve for b

$$b=10$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 1 by -4.94b-19.24.

$$-4.94b-19.24=-4b-28.64$$

Add 4b to both sides.

$$-4.94b-19.24+4b=-28.64$$

Combine -4.94b and 4b to get -0.94b.

$$-0.94b-19.24=-28.64$$

Add 19.24 to both sides.

$$-0.94b=-28.64+19.24$$

Add -28.64 and 19.24 to get -9.4.

$$-0.94b=-9.4$$

Divide both sides by -0.94.

$$b=\frac{-9.4}{-0.94}$$

Expand \frac{-9.4}{-0.94} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$b=\frac{-940}{-94}$$

Divide -940 by -94 to get 10.

$$b=10$$
