[tex] - 2b - ( - 7) = 11 \\ \\ - 2b + 7 = 11 \\ \\ - 2b = 11 - 7 \\ \\ - 2b = 4 \\ \\ b = \frac{4}{ 2} \\ \\ b = 2[/tex]
Answer:
b = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] - 2b - ( - 7) = 11[/tex]
[tex] - 2b + 7 = 11[/tex]
[tex] - 2b + 7 - 7 = 11 - 7[/tex]
[tex] - 2b = 11 - 7[/tex]
[tex] - 2b = 4[/tex]
[tex]b = 4 \div( - 2) = - 4 \div 2 [/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\green{b = - 2}}[/tex]
