Question

b -6(46 - 2) = 150A) 4-6 B) -5C) 9 D) (3)

Answer 1

To solve this equation, we need to follow the next steps:

1. Apply the distributive property:

$b-6\cdot4b+6\cdot2=150\Rightarrow b-24b+12=150$

2. Add the like terms, and subtract 12 to both sides of the equation:

$-23b+12=150\Rightarrow-23b=150-12$

3. Divide both sides of the equation by -23 (to isolate b):

$\frac{-23}{-23}b=\frac{150-12}{-23}\Rightarrow b=\frac{138}{-23}\Rightarrow b=-6$

Then, the answer to this equation is {-6} (option A).
