Answer:
B = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation has mismatched parentheses. We assume the intent is ...
2(b +3.5) -b = -3(6 -2b)
Eliminating parentheses, we have ...
2b +7 -b = -18 +6b
25 = 5b . . . . . . . . . . . add 18-b to both sides and collect terms
b = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 5
