Answer:
[tex]b=-334[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{-8 + b}{38} =-9[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 38.
[tex]\frac{-8 + b}{38}(38) =-9(38)[/tex]
[tex]-8+b=-342[/tex]
Add 8 on both sides.
[tex]-8+b+8=-342+8[/tex]
b = -334
(-8+b) / 38 = -9
Multiply each side by 38
(-8+b) / 38 * 38 = -9*38
-8 + b = -342
Add 8 to each side
-8+b+8 = -342+8
