Answer:

5b-5

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing these kinds of problems you want to do dributive property which means you multiply whatever number is outside of the (), which is 5, and multiply that by b and 1.

when numbers are outside the () and right next to them without anything like +,-, or a division sign, it means to multiply.

In order to find the answer to this question you will have to simplify using the distributive property.

[tex]5(b-1)[/tex]

Applying the distributive property:

[tex]5b+5\times-1[/tex]

[tex]5\times-1=-5[/tex]

[tex]5b-5[/tex]

Therefore the answer is "5b-5."

Hope this helps.
