Question

Solve each equation. Check your solution.

$\frac{b}{7}=-11$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required solution is $b=-77$.

Step 1. Write the given information.

The given equation is: $\frac{b}{7}=-11$.

Step 2. Calculation.

Consider the given equation,

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{b}{7}=-11\\ b=-11\left(7\right)\\ b=-77\end{array}$

Step 3. Checking solution.

Substitute $b=-77$ in the given equation, we get

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{b}{7}=-11 \\ \frac{-77}{7}=-11 \\ -11=-11 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, proved.
