solve for $b$.
$\displaystyle -\frac{b}{5} - 27 = -21$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
$b = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Add 27 to both sides

$-\frac{b}{5} - 27 + 27 = -21 + 27$
$-\frac{b}{5} = 6$

Step2: Multiply by -5 on both sides

$-\frac{b}{5} \times (-5) = 6 \times (-5)$
$b = -30$

Answer:

$b = -30$
