Solve b-5x+4=3

$$b - 5 x + 4 = 3$$

Solve for b

$$b=5x-1$$

Solution Steps

Add 5x to both sides.

$$b+4=3+5x$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$b=3+5x-4$$

Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.

$$b=-1+5x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{b+1}{5}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract b from both sides.

$$-5x+4=3-b$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$-5x=3-b-4$$

Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.

$$-5x=-1-b$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-5x=-b-1$$

Divide both sides by -5.

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

Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.

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

Divide -1-b by -5.

$$x=\frac{b+1}{5}$$
