Answer:
1. x = 6/-2b
2. x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
X in terms of b just means solve for x but you don't have a specific number because one isn't given for b.
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx + 10 = 16
-2bx + 10 - 10 = 16 - 10
-2bx = 6
-2bx/-2b = 6/-2b
x = 6/-2b
To find x when b = 3, just plug in 3 for b.
x = 6/-2(3)
x = 6/-6
x = -1
