4+5b-5=-4b+35
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by b-1.
-1+5b=-4b+35
Subtract 5 from 4 to get -1.
-1+5b+4b=35
Add 4b to both sides.
-1+9b=35
Combine 5b and 4b to get 9b.
9b=35+1
Add 1 to both sides.
9b=36
Add 35 and 1 to get 36.
b=\frac{36}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
b=4
Divide 36 by 9 to get 4.
