-3b+22=7 step by step

b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side in order to make the equation stay true.

1. Subtract 22 from both sides.

-3b + 22 - 22 = 7 - 22

-3b = -15

2. Divide both sides by -3.

-3b/-3 = -15/-3

b = 5

^ That's the final answer!

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
