Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.

$-3.36=b+5.12$

Short answer

Solution of given equation is$b=-8.48$.

Step-by-step solution

Step-1- Solve for value of b

$-3.36=b+5.12$

Subtracting $5.12$on both sides, we get

$\begin{array}{l}-3.36-5.12=b+5.12-5.12\\ b=-3.36-5.12\\ b=-8.48\end{array}$

$b=-8.48$

Step-2-Verification of our solution

For checking our answer, substitute $b=-8.48$ in given equation $-3.36=b+5.12$

On substituting, we get

$\begin{array}{l}-3.36=b+5.12\\ -3.36=-8.48+5.12\\ -3.36=-3.36\end{array}$

Step-3- Conclusion

Here, both sides of above expression are equal.

So, our answer is true.
