To determine

To solve the equation

Answer to Problem 31PFG

Value of b is $\frac{-10}{3}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Equation is $\frac{3}{5}b=-2$

Calculation:

The given equation is $\frac{3}{5}b=-2$

Multiplying by 5,

  $\frac{3}{5}b(5)=-2(5)$

So,

  $3b=-10$

Dividing by 3,

  $b=\frac{-10}{3}$

Hence, value of b is $\frac{-10}{3}$ .
