Solve 2.2b+8+6.8b-5=8b+4/2

$$2.2 b + 8 + 6.8 b - 5 = \frac { 8 b + 4 } { 2 }$$

Solve for b

$$b=-0.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$4.4b+16+13.6b-10=8b+4$$

Combine 4.4b and 13.6b to get 18b.

$$18b+16-10=8b+4$$

Subtract 10 from 16 to get 6.

$$18b+6=8b+4$$

Subtract 8b from both sides.

$$18b+6-8b=4$$

Combine 18b and -8b to get 10b.

$$10b+6=4$$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$10b=4-6$$

Subtract 6 from 4 to get -2.

$$10b=-2$$

Divide both sides by 10.

$$b=\frac{-2}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$b=-\frac{1}{5}$$
