-3(4b-10) = .5(-24b=60)

find the value of b

Why do you have two equal signs in this equation?

-3(4b-10) = .5(-24b+60)

-12b + 30 = -12b + 30

all values of b are solutions

i'm sorry the second equals sign should be a + sign

see solution above,

I figured that the second '=' sign was supposed to be '+'

To solve this equation and find the value of b, we need to simplify and isolate the variable.

Let's start by simplifying the equation step by step:

-3(4b - 10) = 0.5(-24b + 60)

First, let's distribute -3 to both terms inside the parentheses on the left side of the equation:

-12b + 30 = 0.5(-24b + 60)

Next, let's distribute 0.5 to both terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation:

-12b + 30 = -12b + 30

We now have the same terms on both sides of the equation. Now, let's simplify further:

-12b + 30 = -12b + 30

The terms containing b on both sides of the equation are exactly the same, so we can say that b can have any value. In other words, for any value of b, the equation will hold true.

Therefore, there is not a single specific value of b that can be found using this equation.
