Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{b=2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

-5+2(10b-2)=31

Expand brackets.

-5+20b-4=31

-9+20b=31

Add 9 on both sides.

20b=40

Divide both sides by 20

b=2

Answer:

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-5+2(10b-2)=31

Multiply the terms in the bracket

That's

- 5 + 20b - 4 = 31

Group like terms

Send the constants to the right side of the equation

That's

20b = 31 + 4 + 5

Simplify

20b = 40

Divide both sides by 20

We have the final answer as

b = 2

Hope this helps you
